KATHMANDU, MARCH 17

Nepali Congress President and former Prime Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba stated that significant progress has been made toward national and public prosperity since the country transitioned to loktantra (full-fledged democracy).

He made these remarks while receiving a copy of RSS Photo Book: 16 Years of the Republic, published by Rastriya Samachar Samiti (RSS), in an event held today.

President Deuba emphasized the need to counter the negative narrative that "nothing has been done" by highlighting the developmental achievements across the country. He stressed the importance of informing the public about these advancements, noting that publications like the RSS Photo Book play a crucial role in this regard.

"While much remains to be done to meet the people's expectations, let us all move forward together in this endeavor," he said after reviewing the Photo Book.

On the occasion, President Deuba also inquired about RSS operations, acknowledging its recent effectiveness.

RSS Executive Chairman Dharmendra Jha briefed Deuba on the publication, while General Manager Siddharaj Rai, Administration Chief Sheetal Prasad Mahato, and Senior Reporter Bhishma Raj Ojha formally presented the book to him.
