Despite making significant strides in transforming Nepal Electricity Authority (NEA) into a profitable entity, expanding power infrastructure, and enhancing transmission, generation, and distribution systems, Kul Man Ghising, the Managing Director of NEA, has not received any recognition from Deepak Khadka, the Minister of Energy, Water Resources, and Irrigation. In a recent evaluation of MD Ghising's performance, Minister Khadka, who also serves as the chairman of NEA, gave him a score of zero, disregarding the visible progress made in the energy sector. He also successfully finished the restoration of flood-affected projects, including the 456 MW Upper Tamakoshi plant, which is crucial for preventing power shortages. Despite the need for Nepal to maintain the current momentum and support MD Ghising's efforts, Minister Khadka has continuously hindered his initiatives.
