Summary of Nepali Congress Election Manifesto
Political Transformation & Vision

- Ending Pre-election Alliances: Analysing that past coalitions led only to power struggles, the Congress vows not to form any electoral alliances before the elections, choosing to compete on its own strength.
- Constitutional Reform: The manifesto proposes amending the constitution to restructure bodies like the Commission for the Investigation of Abuse of Authority (CIAA) and the Judicial Council to ensure true independence and accountability.
2. Economic Growth & Infrastructure
- Liberal & Production-Oriented Economy: The focus is on making the private sector the engine of growth. The party aims to create an investment-friendly environment to generate mass local employment.

- Practical Education: Shifting from theoretical to vocational and technical education, with provisions for startup grants and concessional loans for students.
- Social Security: Guaranteed housing, land, and protection for senior citizens, Dalits, and marginalised communities.
4. Empowerment of Youth & Sports
- Youth as Partners: Moving beyond calling youth the “future,” the manifesto treats them as “present partners” in policy-making and governance.
