Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal 'Prachanda' on Friday has appealed all political parties, civil society and international community to help make the country poverty-free.
In his message delivered on the occasion of the International Day for the Eradication of poverty, PM Dahal said that the government is vowed to alleviate poverty through achievement of the United Nations Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).
"I want to remind all that the policies and programs and budget presented by the current government has also put poverty alleviation as top priority," said PM 'Prachanda'.
Underlining the need of institutionalization of peace, PM ' Prachanda' said that the political stability and peace is the foundation for development.
The International Day for the Eradication of Poverty is being observed for three days from October 17-19 with the slogan ‘Stand up and take action’. It is celebrated every year on October 17 throughout the world.
The day was officially recognised by the United Nations in 1992, but the first commemoration of the event took place in Paris, France, in 1987 when thousands of people raised voice to honour victims of poverty, hunger, violence and fear.
