The National Council (NC) today decided to submit its 22 recommendations to the National Assembly (NA) for adoption.

Some of the key recommendations include extending the 12th Five-Year-Plan (FYP) period until the end of the interim government’s tenure, increasing the GDP target to 7 per cent, and need for a tourism policy and an act.

On why the 12th plan period ought to be stretched until the completion of the interim government’s term, the council reasons it to bring positive impact on the country’s internal revenue.

The current plan like the previous FYPs does not include the period of the interim government. It ends along with the government’s term in October 2023.

Due to this, the interim government cannot undertake any developmental activities during its three-month long term. And this affects the domestic revenue, asserted the council members.

The house is also recommending the government to come up with more precise objectives on its flagship programmes along with a clear implementation policy and regulation.

Also, the implementation policy and regulation of the flagship programmes must be tabled for endorsement in a joint sitting of the parliament.

The council observed that the 12th plan’s target of maintaining the GDP growth rate at 5 to 6 per cent is much less than growth rate targeted in previous plans.

So, it recommended the government to set higher target of 7 per cent. To realise the target, the house of review suggested the government to commission the hydropower projects such as Punatshangchhu Hydropower Project II.

To further develop the tourism sector, the house recommended the government to frame a tourism policy and an act.

The council also came up with other recommendations on 12th plan’s priority programmes such as eradication of poverty, culture and tradition, and gainful employment.
