Patan, May 28: Nepali Congress (NC) President and former Prime Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba has reaffirmed the party’s commitment to preserving and promoting the ancestral knowledge and skills of indigenous nationalities.
Speaking at the inauguration of a two-day province-level Training of Trainers program organized by the Nepal Democratic Indigenous Federation today, Deuba expressed the NC’s dedication to effectively implementing proportional representation and inclusion, along with upholding republicanism and secularism—milestones he said were achieved under the party’s leadership.
Deuba added that the official recognition of indigenous cultural festivals as national festivals had begun under an NC-led government. He also underscored the need to further empower the Indigenous Nationalities Commission, the Tharu Commission, and the Indigenous Ethnic Upliftment National Academy by ensuring adequate resources and support.
“The NC has been working for the rights and welfare of indigenous nationalities since its inception,” he said, pledging to enhance the constitutional achievements of indigenous communities through an amendment in the future. #nepal #political #rss
