Kathmandu: PM Deuba on Sunday while inaugurating the second national convention of Nepal Women’s Association, a sister organisation of Nepali Congress (Democratic), said the government was preparing to allocate quotas to women, Dalits and indigenous communities in the administrative jobs.

Though he did not give any timeframe and said the ordinance would be introduced soon.

Stressing the need of more women participation in the administrative activists, the Prime Minister said, “Country is unlikely to make any progress by alienating womenfolk from the political and administrative activities.” Women must have reasonable say in the national politics and they should also be involved in the peace process, he said.
