Government employees in Nepal will get salary twice a month, Balendra Shah completely banned political unions in universities.

New Delhi: In India’s neighboring Nepal, the new government led by Balendra Shah is continuously taking big decisions. First the arrest of former Prime Ministers and investigation into the assets of 100 leaders and ministers including seven former PMs started, now two more important decisions have come. Government employees will now get salary twice a month and political student-employee unions have been completely banned in universities.

Now you will get salary every 15 days

On April 17, the Nepal government took a decision at the Finance Ministry level that now government employees will be paid salaries every 15 days instead of the old one-month system. Information about this has already been issued to the concerned departments. The government says that this will increase the flow of cash in the market. If money comes to the employees again and again, they will spend more, which will speed up the flow of money in the economy.

Nepalese officials believe that this step has been taken to strengthen the country’s economy. In most countries of the world, government employees are paid salary once a month. Neighbors in South Asia like India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Sri Lanka and Maldives also run the same system. This new experiment of Nepal is in discussion because it was not seen anywhere before.

Political unions leave universities

Prime Minister Balendra Shah held a three-hour meeting with vice-chancellors of universities and heads of health institutions at his office in Singh Darbar on Monday. In the meeting, he gave clear instructions that now student unions and employee unions based on political parties in universities and hospitals should be dissolved. Vice Chancellors said that after the ‘Generation Z’ movement, student politics has now become useless.

Prime Minister Shah stressed that there should be no place for politics in any educational institution. He also made it clear that no law can stop this decision. Now there will be only education and health services in these institutions, political activities will stop completely.
