May 21, Kavrepalanchok – The Nepal Chamber of Commerce announced the nominees for the Senior Vice President and Treasurer positions from the panel led by current President Anjan Shrestha.
From Shrestha’s panel, incumbent Vice President Surkrishna Baidya has been nominated for the Senior Vice President post, and Manishlal Pradhan for Treasurer. The announcement was made during an event in Godavari, Lalitpur.
As voices within the Chamber call for experienced and capable leaders to take responsibilities, Baidya was named the candidate for Senior Vice President.
Baitya, who has led the Kavre District Chamber of Commerce and served twice as central committee member as well as Vice President, is well-regarded among entrepreneurs. Starting his leadership journey from the district level, he is seen as a businessman closely aware of the problems, needs, and challenges faced by entrepreneurs at grassroots levels. Baidya stated that as Senior Vice President, he aims to align the Associate and sectoral members towards a unified goal.
Accruing experience at both local and central levels, Baidya has been recognized as a suitable leader for the Chamber’s top leadership. Especially amid the challenges currently facing the private sector, an experienced and collaborative leadership is considered essential.
Senior Vice President candidate Baidya expressed his commitment to policy improvements, facilitation, promotion of inclusive and robust entrepreneurship, as well as establishing a business-friendly environment to serve entrepreneurs’ interests.
Similarly, Manishlal Pradhan has been announced as the candidate for Treasurer.
Pradhan hails from a 52-year-old family industrial background and has been active in the Chamber movement since 1998 BS. He has served as the first vice president of the Lalitpur Chamber of Commerce and has been elected three times to the Nepal Chamber of Commerce, undertaking various responsibilities.
Pradhan noted that the industrial business is currently operating at partial capacity, market demand has declined, and morale in the private sector is low. Therefore, there is a need to further unify and strengthen the Chamber, prompting his candidacy for Treasurer.
He also committed to playing a role in resource management and effective fund deployment to activate the Chamber and its district, municipality, and sector associations further.
Meanwhile, Vice President Prabaljwang Pandey has put forward an alternative proposal, supporting Ramchandra Sangai for Senior Vice President and Ambikaprasad Paudel for Treasurer.
