Message From Governor
आदरणीय लायन साथीहरु,
हार्दिक नमस्कार ।
सम्पूर्ण मानव जातिको कल्याण र सेवामा सर्मपित बिश्वकै सर्वश्रेष्ठ सामाजिक संस्थामा मैले २७ वर्ष अघि सन १९९८ साल देखी लायन्स क्लब अफ काठमाडौं जोरपाटीको सदस्यबाट लायनिज्मको यात्रा शुरु गरेको थिएँ । क्लब प्रेसिडेन्ट, जोन चेयरपर्सन, रिजन चेयरपर्सन, एरिया हुँदै क्याबिनेट ट्रिजरर र तत्पश्चात डिष्ट्रिक्टका बिभिन्न अन्य महत्वपूर्ण जिम्मेवारीमा रहि यस संस्थाको सेवा गर्ने अवसरहरु मलाई प्राप्त भए । अग्रज लायन लिडरज्यूहरु र सम्पूर्ण लायन साथीहरुको साथ, सहयोग, माया र हौसलाले यस लायन वर्ष २०२४–२०२५ मा डिष्ट्रिक्ट गभर्नरमा निर्वाचित गराई डिष्ट्रिक्टको नेतृत्व गर्ने सुअवसर तथा जिम्मेवारी दिनु भएको छ जसका लागी म मेरो ह्रदयको अन्तस्करण देखी हार्दिक आभार सहित कृतज्ञता ब्यक्त गर्न चाहन्छु ।
समाजसेवी मनहरु मिल्नु पर्दछ, सबैलाई समान अवसर, समान व्यवहार र सहकार्यको थालनी गदै यस डिष्ट्रिक्टलाई सबैको साझा घरको रुपमा अघि बढाउने मेरो शतप्रयास रहने प्रतिवद्धता ब्यक्त गर्दछु । हामी लायन्सहरु आफुभन्दा कम क्षमतावान, कम भाग्यशाली, सेवा र सहयोगको आवश्यकता भएका ब्यक्तिहरु प्रति जात, धर्म, लिङ्ग, भुगोल भन्दा माथि उठी निस्वार्थ सेवा भावले जहाँ आवश्यकता त्यहाँ लायन्स भन्ने मूलमन्त्रमा समाहित भई काम गर्नु पर्दछ भन्ने मान्यता राख्दछौं । म मेरो कार्यकालमा हाम्रा यी मान्यताहरुलाई व्यवहारमा उतार्न थप प्रयास गर्ने प्रतिबद्धता ब्यक्त गदै, सामाजिक काममा लाग्न आफुले आफैलाई विश्वास गरौ भन्ने नाराका साथ उभिएको छु । सबै लायन साथीहरु संग मैले यस वर्ष प्रस्तुत गरेका बिषयहरुमा यहाँहरुको साथ सहयोग र सदभावको अपेक्षा सहित आ–आफ्नो जिम्मेवारी अनुसारको काम कर्तब्य निर्वाह गरी दिनुहुन बिनम्र अनुरोध गर्दछु ।
काठमाडौं देखि पूर्वको तेह्थुम सम्म फैलिएको यस डिष्ट्रिक्टको अधिकांश भूभाग हिमाल र पहाडले ओगटेका छन् । गुणस्तरिय शिक्षा, स्वास्थ्य, पोषणयुक्त खाना र कमजोर आर्थिक अवस्थाको कारण यस क्षेत्रमा थप सेवाका कार्यक्रमहरु आवश्यक रहेको छ । भैपरी आउने प्राकृतिक बिपद्हरुको सामना गर्न भोगौलिक बिकटताका कारण अझ चुनौतिपूर्ण रहेको छ । तसर्थ हामीले गर्ने सेवाका कार्यक्रमहरुलाई थप प्रभावकारी बनाउँदै लक्षित समुह, क्षेत्रहरु निर्धारण गरी सोही अनुसार कार्यक्रम आयोजना गर्न, पूर्व तयारी गर्न र बिषेशतः तत्–तत् स्थानहरुमा लायन्स क्लबहरुको बिस्तार र सदस्यहरुको बृद्धि गरि सेवाका हातहरु बढाउन म यहाँहरु समक्ष हार्दिक आव्हान गर्न चाहन्छु ।
युवाहरुले स्थानियस्तरमा शिक्षा, स्वास्थ्य, भौतिक सुबिधा, र अवसर नपाउँदा तथा सुनौलो भविष्यको खोजीमा गाउँबाट शहर र शहरबाट बिदेश पलायन हुने क्रम बढ्दो छ । बिदेशिन नसक्ने असक्त, कमजोर आर्थिक भएकाहरु, रोगी, बालबालिका, जेष्ठ नागरिकहरु झन समस्यामा रहेका छन् । बिषेशतः जेष्ठ नागरिकहरुलाई स्वास्थ्य र बालबालिकाहरुलाई शिक्षा मात्र सहज उपलब्ध हुँदा पनि धेरै समस्याहरु हल हुन सक्छन्, तसर्थ आवश्यकताको आधारमा लायन्सका बिभिन्न परियोजनाहरु मार्फत स्थानिय सरकार र सरोकारवालाहरु संग सहकार्य गदै त्यस्ता क्षेत्रहरुमा लायन्सका प्रोजेक्टहरु ल्याई यथोचित थप सेवा र सहयोग गर्न पनि म सबै क्लबहरु तथा लायन्स साथीहरुलाई हार्दिक अनुरोध गर्दछु ।
निराशा र अन्यौलतालाई धैर्यता र आत्मबिश्वासले जित्न सक्नु पर्छ, त्यसको शुरुवात आफैबाट गर्नु पर्छ भन्ने सोचका साथ मैले यस वर्ष अभियानको रुपमा आफैलाई बिश्वास गरौं (Believe in Yourself ) भन्ने थिम अगाडी बढाएको छु । असम्भवलाई सम्भव बनाउन सकिन्छ भन्ने सोचका साथ म स्वयं र यहाँहरु प्रति पनि बिश्वस्त छु । आउनुहोस हामी सबै एकबद्ध भई हातेमालो गरी १०७ वर्षको इतिहास बोकेको हाम्रो यस गरिमामय संस्थालाई थप मजबुत बनाउँदै मानविय सेवामा समर्पित हुन सवैमा हार्दिक अपिल गर्दछु ।
धन्यवाद ।
जय लायनवाद ।
