During the election campaign, many voters voiced complaints that “leaders become distant from the public after winning elections.” Rubina Acharya, elected under the National Independent Party (RASWAPA) from Morang-6, heard similar concerns from numerous constituents. After the winter session ended, Acharya embarked on the “The People’s Representative Among the People” campaign, visiting voters at their doorsteps.

“A people’s representative must always remain among the people. Through direct meetings, continuous dialogue, and cultivating a culture of listening to the people’s voice, real problems can be identified and resolved,” Acharya stated. “Since the completion of the first session of Parliament, I have been advancing this campaign through site visits and public engagement programs within my electoral area.” She has also committed to continuing this campaign after every parliamentary session.

“I am conducting direct public meetings in all wards of Morang-6 to collect local problems, challenges, and grievances,” she elaborated. “Direct dialogue with constituents is the real foundation for addressing regional issues.” Acharya informed that she is progressing necessary steps to institutionalize feedback and suggestions received from voters through the Secretariat Committee of Morang-6. During her field visits, she inspected government schools, public hospitals, flood-prone and erosion-affected areas, as well as places undergoing soil excavation.

“Through direct communication with local residents, I have collected their problems, complaints, and suggestions,” Acharya explained. “It was observed that educational conditions are weak and marginalized communities have limited access to education. I will strive to address this problem.” She emphasized the indispensable role of local governments in ensuring quality education. With rising drug abuse among youth posing a serious societal challenge, Acharya concluded that a comprehensive long-term strategy is essential.

“Without public awareness campaigns, strict monitoring, effective rehabilitation programs, and participation of families and communities, this issue cannot be resolved,” she said. “In agriculture, opportunities must be developed, local production promoted, and farmer-friendly policies effectively implemented.” She also underscored the need for timely, quality completion of ongoing infrastructure projects and called attention to responsible agencies. Regarding hospital services, Acharya has raised her voice emphasizing that patients deserve quality care. She recommended prompt initiatives to improve hospital management and service delivery to make them effective, accessible, and people-friendly.
