Saying that women could move ahead if they get the opportunity, PM Oli said that priority should be given to the programmes developing women's qualification and capacity.

He said, "It is the achievement of the struggle that a woman has reached to the post of President in Nepal. Nepal has got the achievement which is rarely achieved in the world due to the struggle in the Constituent Assembly."

Stating that women's reservation was only for some places and level, the PM pointed out the need of investing more in different projects like compulsory education and economic empowerment of women.
