Kathmandu, Feb 18: Chandragiri municipality has honoured its chief administrative officer, Hemraj Aryal, for this promotion to the post of joint secretary (gazetted first class officer).
Aryal, the government undersecretary working as chief administrative officer at the municipality for one and half year, was recommended as the joint secretary after excelling the internal competitive exam held by Public Service Commission.
Mayor of Chandragiri municipality Ghanashyam Giri feted him by organizing a programme on Monday.
Mayor Giri shared that during his term in the municipality, Aryal played a significant role in enforcing the plans and activities like formation of municipal police, GPS, digital system, and establishment of maternity hospital. These initiatives had long term significance, he added.
“I worked with as many as 10 chief administrative officers so far. Among them, I found Aryal the most competent, action-oriented and cooperative officer,” Giri lauded, adding that other officers can also learn from his work style.
On the occasion, joint secretary Aryal said the work atmosphere at Chandragiri municipality is conducive and he carried out his duties responsibly and honestly. “I do not entertain work under pressure but on conscience,” he informed.
On a different note, Aryal shared he was able to secure his position as the gazetted first class officer through PSC exam because he focused more on minute study of people’s need and society rather than bookish knowledge.
He also handed over 51-point suggestion as ‘institutional memory’ to the municipality so that the good practices made so far could be continued in the days ahead.
