According to the previous agreement, the construction project was to be completed within 4 years.</p>

<p>The detailed project report was prepared in 1998 and the project was to be completed by 2008. The required area of 285 ropanis of land was already acquired but the project failed to gain momentum. The project site lies at Piple, Jhin and Dagna of Myagdi district. The electricity produced from the project will be transmitted to the Modikhola station for national distribution.</p>

<p>The delegation has requested Devkota to solve the contemporary issues and problems in construction activities which are against the amended Public Procurement Act, 2007.</p>

<p>The delegation informed the secretary that the government bodies have been calling for bids for projects with less than Rs 20 million investment by setting certain criteria, which is against the spirit of the Public Procurement Act, 2007 and the fourth amendment (2017) to the Public Procurement Rule, 2008. They said that this act has deprived small-scale construction companies of work opportunity, rendering them jobless. The FCAN drew the attention of the concerned bodies against this anomaly and requested them to implement the Public Procurement Act and Rule in its true spirit.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The delegation said that despite mentioning the source of construction supplies like stones, mud, aggregates and sand in the tender, the district development committees and district administration offices do not let the contractors extract the supplies from the sources. This has caused delay in construction works. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>Bishnu Budathoki, spokesperson FCAN, informed that Devkota in response has said that they will try their best to address the legitimate demands of the entrepreneurs.</p>

<p>&ldquo;Bringing an entrepreneurship policy will help to make the ecosystem more organised and this will definitely help to create more entrepreneurs in the country,&rdquo; she added.</p>

<p>Likewise, Niraj Khanal, CEO of Antarprerana, a business accelerator, shared that Nepal also needs many small investments rather than big investments. &nbsp;&ldquo;Nepal lacks investors who can invest a huge amount.

A delegation led by Bishnu Bhai Shrestha, president of FCAN, on Sunday apprised &nbsp;the secretary at the Public Procurement Monitoring Office Krishna Prasad Devkota about their problems and held discussions to seek solutions to the problems .</span></p>

<p>The delegation has requested Devkota to solve the contemporary issues and problems in construction activities which are against the amended Public Procurement Act, 2007.</p>

<p>The delegation informed the secretary that the government bodies have been calling for bids for projects with less than Rs 20 million investment by setting certain criteria, which is against the spirit of the Public Procurement Act, 2007 and the fourth amendment (2017) to the Public Procurement Rule, 2008. They said that this act has deprived small-scale construction companies of work opportunity, rendering them jobless. The FCAN drew the attention of the concerned bodies against this anomaly and requested them to implement the Public Procurement Act and Rule in its true spirit.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The delegation said that despite mentioning the source of construction supplies like stones, mud, aggregates and sand in the tender, the district development committees and district administration offices do not let the contractors extract the supplies from the sources. This has caused delay in construction works. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>Bishnu Budathoki, spokesperson FCAN, informed that Devkota in response has said that they will try their best to address the legitimate demands of the entrepreneurs.</p>

<p>&ldquo;Bringing an entrepreneurship policy will help to make the ecosystem more organised and this will definitely help to create more entrepreneurs in the country,&rdquo; she added.</p>

Therefore, the project was handed over to the new company after the tenure of the previous project undertaken by IVRCL expired after seven years. According to the previous agreement, the construction project was to be completed within 4 years.</p>

<p>The detailed project report was prepared in 1998 and the project was to be completed by 2008. The required area of 285 ropanis of land was already acquired but the project failed to gain momentum. The project site lies at Piple, Jhin and Dagna of Myagdi district. The electricity produced from the project will be transmitted to the Modikhola station for national distribution.</p>

A delegation led by Bishnu Bhai Shrestha, president of FCAN, on Sunday apprised &nbsp;the secretary at the Public Procurement Monitoring Office Krishna Prasad Devkota about their problems and held discussions to seek solutions to the problems .</span></p>

<p>The delegation has requested Devkota to solve the contemporary issues and problems in construction activities which are against the amended Public Procurement Act, 2007.</p>

<p>The delegation informed the secretary that the government bodies have been calling for bids for projects with less than Rs 20 million investment by setting certain criteria, which is against the spirit of the Public Procurement Act, 2007 and the fourth amendment (2017) to the Public Procurement Rule, 2008. They said that this act has deprived small-scale construction companies of work opportunity, rendering them jobless. The FCAN drew the attention of the concerned bodies against this anomaly and requested them to implement the Public Procurement Act and Rule in its true spirit.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The delegation said that despite mentioning the source of construction supplies like stones, mud, aggregates and sand in the tender, the district development committees and district administration offices do not let the contractors extract the supplies from the sources. This has caused delay in construction works. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>Bishnu Budathoki, spokesperson FCAN, informed that Devkota in response has said that they will try their best to address the legitimate demands of the entrepreneurs.</p>

<p>&ldquo;Bringing an entrepreneurship policy will help to make the ecosystem more organised and this will definitely help to create more entrepreneurs in the country,&rdquo; she added.</p>

According to the previous agreement, the construction project was to be completed within 4 years.</p>

<p>The detailed project report was prepared in 1998 and the project was to be completed by 2008. The required area of 285 ropanis of land was already acquired but the project failed to gain momentum. The project site lies at Piple, Jhin and Dagna of Myagdi district. The electricity produced from the project will be transmitted to the Modikhola station for national distribution.</p>

A delegation led by Bishnu Bhai Shrestha, president of FCAN, on Sunday apprised &nbsp;the secretary at the Public Procurement Monitoring Office Krishna Prasad Devkota about their problems and held discussions to seek solutions to the problems .</span></p>

<p>The delegation has requested Devkota to solve the contemporary issues and problems in construction activities which are against the amended Public Procurement Act, 2007.</p>

<p>The delegation informed the secretary that the government bodies have been calling for bids for projects with less than Rs 20 million investment by setting certain criteria, which is against the spirit of the Public Procurement Act, 2007 and the fourth amendment (2017) to the Public Procurement Rule, 2008. They said that this act has deprived small-scale construction companies of work opportunity, rendering them jobless. The FCAN drew the attention of the concerned bodies against this anomaly and requested them to implement the Public Procurement Act and Rule in its true spirit.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The delegation said that despite mentioning the source of construction supplies like stones, mud, aggregates and sand in the tender, the district development committees and district administration offices do not let the contractors extract the supplies from the sources. This has caused delay in construction works. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>Bishnu Budathoki, spokesperson FCAN, informed that Devkota in response has said that they will try their best to address the legitimate demands of the entrepreneurs.</p>
