Kathmandu, May 29: The 19th Republic Day is being celebrated by organizing various programmes across the country today. The first meeting of the Constituent Assembly had declared Nepal a Federal Democratic Republic on 15 Jestha 2065 BS (28 May 2008). The Republic Day is marked in commemoration of this very day. The announcement of the federal republic not only formally abolished monarchy in the country but also paved ways for a shift in the governance -- from the unitary to the federal system.
On this occasion, President Ramchandra Paudel stated that achieving the goals of good governance, development, and prosperity is today's national need, which can be accomplished by strengthening an accountable and people-oriented public service through the medium of the federal democratic republican form of governance.
In his message on the occasion of the Republic Day today, the President has called for cooperation among all layers of government, private sector and civil society to achieve social justice, economic prosperity and inclusive development as envisaged by the constitution.
The President has urged all political parties, civil society and all other stakeholders to contribute from their respective areas to develop a well-cultured and prosperous society by achieving a sustainable, wider and judicious economic growth while upholding Nepal's independence, sovereignty, territorial integrity, national unity, national interests and pride.
President Paudel has also praised the contributions of all who participated in the movement waged for the establishment of the republican system and has extended heartfelt condolences to all known and unknown martyrs who sacrificed their lives for this cause.
