Leader Angdembe’s question: “Where did the job that Jenji was looking for was created?”

Kathmandu. KATHMANDU: Nepali Congress parliamentary party leader Bhishma Raj Angdembe has said the state should accept youths not only as a group voting but also as a leading force for nation building.

In a message of best wishes on the occasion of International Youth Day today, he said that serious discussion was needed on the rights of youths, their participation, empowerment and future.

“The state should accept the youths not only as a voting group but also as a leading force in nation-building,” he said. A concrete policy of ‘Return Youth Entrepreneurship’ is necessary to mobilize knowledge, skills, technology and capital of the returnee youths in the country. All three tiers of government should keep the participation of youth, leadership and creativity at the center of development. ’

Angdembe pointed out the need for a concrete policy on ‘returnee youth entrepreneurship’ to mobilize knowledge, skills, technology and capital of the returnee youths within the country. He stressed on the need for all three tiers of government to keep youths’ participation, leadership and creativity at the centre of development.

The International Youth Day should be developed as an opportunity for the youths to express their commitment to building a Nepal where they can see their future in the country, he said.

According to the National Census 2078, 42.56 percent of the population in the age group of 16-40 years should be utilized as the demographic dividend of Nepal. But it is unfortunate that around 2,000 youths are forced to go abroad every day in search of employment and opportunities.

He also asked where the job he was looking for was created. “Where is the job that Jenji wanted, where is the good governance they wanted? Where is the plan to bring back the youths compelled to go abroad?” he asked.

Angdembe claimed that the Jenji movement of the third week of September 2082 demanded a mandate for employment, good governance, accountability and nation-building.
