Addressing the launch of a magazine Living with ICT here in the Capital today, Thapa said IT should be developed as a separate and advanced industry to transform good governance into practice.
IT services should be used to eradicate poverty, said former minister for Science and Technology said Ganesh Sah, adding that a new Nepal would be prosperous only through adoption of e-governance. Similarly, Mukesh Regmi, ICT Chief Officer at the Prime Minister’s Office and the Council of Ministers, said a government policy that could properly handle the IT sector was in much need in the country.
Rural areas should have access to computer education to make IT extensive, Subarna Shakya, Assistant Dean of the Tribhuvan University, Pulchowk Engineering Campus said.
Editor of Living with ICT Rajan Lamsal and other speakers emphasised on maximum use of IT for a prosperous and new Nepal.
