Civil Servant Recounts Career Progression and Administrative Reforms

While working at the National Planning Commission, the Ministry of General Administration published a notice on Magh 18, 2058, promoting me and others to the post of Deputy Secretary, with seniority effective from that date, and I received the promotion letter to Deputy Secretary in Jestha 2059.

When I received that letter, I felt that my 14 years of struggle had found a happy respite. The Ministry of General Administration assigned me to the Ministry of Industry or its subordinate office. The Ministry of Industry gave me the responsibility of Chief Industry Officer at the Cottage and Small Scale Industries Office, Lalitpur. On Bhadra 3, 2059, I took charge of this office located within the Patan Industrial Estate. The transfer from the Planning Commission, which initially seemed difficult, proved to be the main stepping stone to increasing the height of my career.
