Similarly, Vice Chair at the National Planning Commission, Dr Pushpa Raj Kandel, said the NPC was prioritizing the development of IT sectors. He shared that the Commission was accepting the Digital Nepal action as a revolutionary 15th programme of the NPC.

On the occasion, Director General at Department of Information Technology, Prem Sharan Shrestha, said the IT could be utilized for country's economic development, and smooth and effective public service delivery.

Chairperson of Nepal Telecommunications Authority (NTA), Purushottam Khanal, informed that internet was expanded in more than 60 percent geography of the country, and 4G service would begin within this year.

Chairman of CAN Federation, Nawaraj Kunwar, viewed that the CAN fair was organized to make the national and international publicity of new issues surrounding the IT.
