The NYEF(Nepalese Young Entrepreneurs Forum), Sunsari Chapter, has entered a new era of leadership as Rajeev Ghimire was elected president during the sixth anniversary event at Solti Westend, Itahari.
The newly elected team includes Sinet Rizal as First Vice President and Rakesh Shrestha as Second Vice President. Other members joining the committee are Utsav Thapa, Abhishek Basnet, Nishan Khetiya, Aakash Dulal, Jishun Chapagain, Rahul Bhandari, and German Poudel.
Speaking after his election, Ghimire promised an active, innovative, and inclusive leadership. “Now is the time to build, not just talk,” he said, emphasizing his vision to empower youth through action, not words. He committed to helping young people grow as entrepreneurs and take part in leadership roles.
Ghimire also stressed that training alone is not enough—youth need real opportunities. He said the forum will collaborate with government bodies to give young people a voice in policymaking. His plan includes promoting local startups in tech, agriculture, environment, and digital services.
National President Kushalsundar Shrestha, founding Sunsari president Sudip Ghimire, and FNCCI Koshi Province President Rajendra Raut echoed this message, saying youth participation in national policy is key to unlocking Nepal’s entrepreneurial potential.
Chief guest Hikmat Kumar Karki, Chief Minister of Koshi Province, stated that the government is committed to prosperity through entrepreneurship and youth empowerment.
The event welcomed representatives from various sectors, including Bijay Shrestha (Sunsari FNCCI), Jeevan Parajuli (Itahari), Birendra Shah (Inaruwa), Naveen Chaudhary (Ramdhuni), and Mahesh Paudel, former National President of Nepal Jaycees.
