After newly structured federal
governance system in Nepal, Bagmati province stands to be the largest province
among seven federal states regarding economic and demographic contribution. All
the political and administrative structures are formed according to the new federal
structure as organized by the constitution of Nepal. Being one of the major
three pillars of economic development, cooperative sector also follows federal
structure.
According
to the jurisdiction specified by the current constitution of Nepal, the
cooperative sector falls under the jurisdiction of all three federal units
namely union, state and local levels.
Bagmati province Savings and credit
Cooperative Union Ltd. (Bagmati PROSCUN) is also a glorious state level
association of new savings and credit cooperatives registered under the
Cooperatives Act 2074 issued after the new federal structure of Nepal. I was
established with the great vision of 'an excellent financial cooperative
network dedicated to competent and complete service.'
I have received the responsibility as
the first Chief Executive Officer after the establishment of the association as
both an opportunity and a challenge. It is a matter of great pride for me to be
able to contribute to the empowerment of the cooperative movement through the
thematic association of the state level. I am confident that my term of office
will be very fruitful in accelerating the activities of the federation in its
infancy and building a distinctive position for the federation in the
cooperative movement. In order to maintain this trust, my efforts will always
be focused on giving my hundred percent contribution within the scope of my
past learning, experience, relevant laws and policies. The Federation has just
completed a four-year strategic business plan. Federation aims to play a role
in the development, promotion and sustainable commercialization of maximum
cooperatives within the state by making them the members of its own through the
plan. In order to take this goal to the next level, I will be making untiring
efforts to develop the positive image of the association in terms of business
capability, service delivery, member-friendliness, good governance,
trustworthiness and accessibility.
I firmly stand with the belief that the Union should be supportive in
fulfilling the national aspiration of poverty alleviation through cooperatives.
For this purpose, my efforts and
knowledge will be focused in developing and implementing the activities and
programs of the Federation through member organizations focusing on poverty
alleviation. I believe the union will always play a positive role in mobilizing
the schemes for the alleviation of poverty in the state through all the
concerned authorities.
During my tenure, my priority through this association is to assure the
governments at all three levels that the financial transactions of the members
of the association are well regulated, transparent, secure and sustainable. In
order to fulfill this responsibility, I will focus on ensuring the quality
service of the member organizations. In order to improve the operational system
of cooperatives, the federation will play a sufficient role in developing and
operating various types of training and education programs. The culture of developing the common opinion
of the movement will be developed through various state level seminars and
interaction programs on behalf of the federation on the burning issues of
cooperatives.
As a chief executive officer, I will motivate my team to manage internal
administrative activities with efficiency and effectiveness for the financial
discipline, continuous growth and efficient manpower management of the federation.
Sufficient efforts will be made to continuously modify and organize the service
of the federation by continuously increasing the capacity of the employees
working in the Bagmati PROSCUN service.
Through Bagmati Province Federation of Saving and Credit Cooperative Union, I
am committed to develop the tendency to run the organization by developing the
model policies required for the internal good governance and commercialization
of its member organizations and also by implementing the policy as role model
organization.
Lastly, I wholeheartedly take the responsibility for the overall development of
the union as team leader of management sector. I look forward to the guidance
and full support of the member organizations, board of directors, our umbrella
organizations and all the stakeholders for the strengthening of this glorious
federation and cooperative movement as a whole.
