Dr. Bimala Rai Paudyal

Former Minister of Foreign Affairs

Vision/ belief:

People in Nepal worship goddess Laxmi for wealth and Sarawoti for wisdom. For me, education is both wealth and wisdom. All children, irrespective of who they are and where they are, should get equal opportunity of quality education in the subject they are interested. Invest in education and return is obvious, in the form of prosperity, peace and happiness.

End of poverty and establishment of inclusive just society is possible and doable provided that it is everyone’s responsibility and accountability. Obviously state has the biggest responsibility and accountability but it cannot deliver unless citizens have voice and sense of individual responsiveness. We were borne an empty hand and we die empty. Lets make this world treat all equally.
