February 15: Meeting of the National Development Problem Solving Committee has become uncertain due to the busy schedule of the prime minister. The committee is considered as a high-level mechanism to monitor and evaluate the development policies, plans and programmes adopted by the country.

The meeting of the committee should be held three times every year before mid-December, mid-April and mid-August to review the first, second and third annual progress reports of development projects respectively under the chairmanship of the prime minister.

It has not been possible to hold the meeting since the last 13 months because of the busy schedule of Prime Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba.

The meeting of the committee was held last time on January 15, 2021 when it was chaired by the then Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli. The meeting had reviewed the development projects of FY 2076/77 and the projects of the first quarter of FY 2077/78.

The meeting has not been held since then.

According to the spokesperson of the committee Dil Bahadur Gurung, the meeting should be held three to four times a year but that has not happened due to the busy schedule of Prime Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba.

“The change of government and the prime minister’s busy schedule are the main reasons for the delay in holding the meeting,” said Gurung.

The meeting also requires the presence of chief ministers and chief secretaries of all seven provinces.

Prior to the committee meeting, ministerial-level meetings to review the progress of development projects need to be done. The ministries have held such meetings and identified the key problems but they have not been able to present their report in the committee meeting.

Therefore, the problems faced in development works have not been addressed so far.
