Kathmandu, 5 Mangsir: President Ram Chandra Paudel has stated that practical knowledge, moral education, and skill-based education that enhances competence, according to the needs of the nation, is the necessity of today.

Speaking at the Diamond Jubilee ceremony organized today to mark the 75th anniversary of Padmakanya Multiple Campus here, he emphasized that only such an education can face the current challenges.

Referring to the context that the country has reached this state after passing through a difficult situation, he mentioned that the date for the House of Representatives election has been set for February 21 (Falgun 21), preserving the constitution, democracy, and the nation from that adverse and difficult situation.

President Paudel said, "I believe that the result of this election will strengthen the journey of good governance, development, and prosperity and give it a new direction. Since this election is essential for the country, the people, and democracy, I also want to appeal to all Nepali brothers and sisters to make it successful."

President Paudel stated that it is the need of the hour to focus on making skill-based education excellent by starting the teaching of additional subjects according to the needs of society and the nation, providing practical knowledge and moral education, and enhancing competence.

Mentioning the context that the country has reached this state after passing through a difficult situation, he reiterated that the date for the House of Representatives election has been set for February 21, preserving the constitution, democracy, and the nation from that adverse and difficult situation.

"I believe that the result of this election will strengthen the journey of good governance, development, and prosperity and give it a new direction.

He stated that the main task of educational institutions is to prepare quality and skilled manpower required for various sectors in the country.

"Many women who are established not only in the academic and administrative fields but also in the political sphere of the country have obtained higher education from this campus.
