Dear Members and All respected Personalities,

I extend my heartfelt gratitude to all central representatives of the 12th General Convention, the outgoing President, the respected members of the Presidium and Election Committee, and all senior organizers. I am deeply honored and humbled by the unanimous decision to elect me as President of the Nepal Government Employees' Organization—Nepal’s first and largest trade union representing the most organized, trained, disciplined, and professional segment of our civil service.

With profound respect, I pay tribute to our revered martyrs—Manoj Joshi, Jhapendra Karki, Surendra Bishwakarma, and all known and unknown heroes who sacrificed their lives for our professional movement. I also salute the living martyrs of the historic and unforgettable 56-day movement of 2048 B.S., whose courage and dedication continue to inspire us.

Being entrusted with the leadership of this organization—born out of that struggle and built through sacrifice, dedication, and trust—is both an honor and a profound responsibility. Representing more than forty thousand organized members, this role has placed upon my shoulders the responsibility to understand and address the needs, rights, and aspirations of civil servants at all levels. I pledge to work tirelessly for the betterment of civil servants, for their professional development, and to resolve workplace challenges with integrity and dedication.

Over the past thirty-five years, this organization has played a pivotal role in securing many achievements for civil servants. Following the 12th General Convention held in Kathmandu (30 Magh–3 Falgun 2081 B. S.), we have renewed our commitment to strengthening the cooperative movement, expanding training initiatives from central to local levels, enhancing organizational unity, and operating in strict adherence to our rules, procedures, and statutes.

At the same time, we must confront certain shortcomings and public misconceptions created in the past. We recognize the urgent need to reform and straighten the organization to better reflect the expectations of civil servants and to defend their rights and interests more effectively.

Despite more than a decade having passed since the declaration of the Constitution, the failure to enact the Federal Civil Service Act remains a pressing concern. The current draft of the Civil Service Bill under parliamentary discussion poses serious threats to trade union rights. The increasing influence of vested interests in the management of the civil service, along with inconsistent decision-making at senior administrative levels, has created further challenges—especially for junior and low-paid employees.

While the Nepal Government Employees' Organization and its affiliated unions have continued to advocate relentlessly, the government’s inability to pass the Federal Civil Service Act that includes trade union rights reflects a growing disregard for the movement and the voice of civil servants.

With the hope that the year 2082 will be successful in securing a unified Federal Civil Service Act with a broader definition of the civil service, I extend my heartfelt New Year greetings for 2082 to all justice-loving organizational colleagues, respected seniors, and the entire civil service family.

Thank you.

Bhavani Neupane Dahal
Central President
Nepal Government Employees' Organization
