representation of experienced figures from the business sector would enable the
organisation to play an even more impactful role in the future.
Former Minister and

was unsatisfactory. He stressed that a lack of confidence persists in the
private sector and emphasised the need to launch large-scale projects to
revitalise the economy.
Shrestha further

such initiatives and take a leadership role in CSR efforts.
