Kathmandu, Jan. 8
The government has honoured the Computer
Association of Nepal Federation (CAN Federation) and its senior leadership for
their transformative contribution to the development of Nepal's Information and
Communication Technology (ICT) sector, digital literacy, and skilled workforce
production.
The recognition took place during a
special ceremony held in Bhainsepati, Lalitpur, on the occasion of the second
anniversary of the National Vocational Training Institute (NVTI), under the
Ministry of Labour, Employment, and Social Security (MoLESS).
Two senior officials from the federation received
certificates of appreciation and honour from the government. CAN Federation's
Senior Vice President Chiranjivi Adhikari was recognised for laying the
foundation of vocational ICT training and taking a leadership role, while
General Secretary, Chandra Vilas Bhurtel, was honoured for his commendable work
as the chairperson of the curriculum drafting sub-committee, the CAN Federation
informed in a statement.
Minister of Labour, Employment, and Social
Security, Rajendra Singh Bhandari, Secretary of Labour and Chairperson of the
NVTI Development Committee Dr. Deepak Kafle, and Executive Director of NVTI,
Ramesh Kumar Bakhati, jointly presented the honours to the federation.
In the fiscal year 2024/25, two
fundamental ICT skill-based curricula were developed through the collaboration
between NVTI and the CAN Federation, addressing the needs of the labour market.
These programmes are designed to directly link skilled workforce production
with economic needs and employment opportunities. The main basis for the
recognition of Adhikari was his concept of 'Skills in Hands,' which he
initiated during his tenure as General Secretary.
Receiving the
honour, the CAN Federation expressed its commitment to continue working closely
with the government to play a stronger role in the development of skills in the
ICT sector and the creation of employment. The federation aims to expand its
programmes further to enable Nepali workers to compete in the global digital
economy.
