Prime Minister Puspa Kamal Dahal has vowed to engage himself every single day in maintaining good governance and carrying out development activities. He also expressed his commitment to fulfil the necessities of the country and the people.

"I have a thought that I will commit myself to maintain good governance and carrying out development activities during my premiership.

He stressed the need to resolve economic problems of the country, and maintain good governance, and control corruption and anomalies. "I have taken a decision to end problems in various sectors. I can take even 'harsh' steps to hear and address problems," PM Dahal reminded.

Dahal also appealed to all Nepali people to come together to start the journey towards good governance and prosperity.

Stating that education was the base for civilisation, culture, good governance and development of a country, he emphasised the need of quality education.
