Speaking at a program organized by the National Luminary Shankhadhar Sakhwa Foundation in the presence of Home Minister Sudhan Gurung on Tuesday, Speaker Aryal said that the state should not shy away from its responsibility of recognizing the contributions of Shankhadhar Sakhwa in the national and international level and preserving the Nepal language and Nepal script. He said, “The government should formulate a clear policy, necessary budget and effective action plan to expand its use in the public archive of government work, educational sector and digital system.” The state should not shy away from the responsibility of recognizing the contribution of Shankhadhar Sakhwa at the national and international level and preserving the Nepal Bhasa and Nepal script. He said that the Nepal Sambat is not only a basis for calculating the years but also a living symbol of Nepal’s historical civilization, original culture and national identity. He termed the historic contribution of national luminary Shankhadhar Sakhwa who freed the people from debt by surrendering his personal property for the welfare of the people was an unparalleled example of social justice and public welfare. <\/p>\n
“The life of Shankhadhar Sakhwa has given an important message that one should rise above personal interest for the public good. This value needs to be imbibed in today’s politics, administration and social life,” he said. <\/p>\n
Speaker Aryal said that the Nepal Sambat movement has made a significant contribution to the promotion of democratic consciousness along with the preservation of language, script, culture and identity. He said that the state should give due respect to the contribution of the leaders and campaigners of the movement. He said although it was an important achievement to recognize the Nepal Sambat as the national calendar, the recognition should not be limited to just declaration. Stating that the unique culture and heritage is not only the memory of the past but also the basis of identity and future of the coming generation, he stressed the need of the hour to preserve originality along with modern development. He also urged all to take a pledge to preserve history and culture, maintain honesty and accountability in public life and strengthen unity in diversity and social harmony. On the occasion, Speaker Aryal expressed the belief that the Nepal Sambat 1147 would increase the feeling of new enthusiasm, unity, prosperity and cooperation among all Nepalis. <\/p>\n
