Kathmandu, Apr. 22
The
government has appointed three members to the National Planning Commission (NPC).
According
to the NPC, Economist Ramesh Chandra Poudel, Prof. Dr. R. P. Bichha and Dr. Prabhu
Budhathoki were appointed as its members by the government the other day. Dr.
Bichha is a medical expert while Dr. Budhathoki is an expert of green economy
and development.
The
government led by Pushpa Kamal Dahal ‘Prachanda’ had earlier appointed Dr. Min
Bahadur Shrestha as the vice-chairman of the NPC and Dr. Ram Kumar Phuyal and
Dr. Jaya Kant Raut as the members.
It
is hoped that the appointment of the new members at the planning body would
help the government in formulating the policy and programmes as well as the
budget for the next fiscal year 2023/24. The NPC is chaired by the prime
minister.
