She is the great leader. Best education minister that Nepal ever had

[@roshanadhikari9003]

We had laxmi prasad devkota as education minister for time being. He was pivotal on development of TU.

[@user-wd5ik2xg9f]

Seriously? On what basis? Just because she makes 10 videos a day on GitHub and nonsense what are unrelated to 90% + student in Nepal ?

[@Samir12357]

Kun adhar ma best education minister vandeko.. atleast kaam gareraw dekhaos ani bhannu don't be andha bhakt

[@KalpanaKhatri-jj7xm]

​@@Samir12357She have actually worked..I mean I am not goon specifiy who is the best but she is educated and we should value that atleast after a decades we got a minster like herr

[@TrafalgarDWater]

Best re k garya xa ra aile samma

[@milanyt8286]

People like Sumana Shrestha and Balen Shah are some of the reasons why i have big hopes for positive changes in Nepal.

[@top10slist94]

Balen is well known for his work. Meanwhile ghanti is know for its publicity stunt....nepali haru lai tesai veda vaniyeko hoina.

[@sawbeanbasnet2980]

​@@top10slist94 aren't you Nepali ??

[@bimalashrestha2563]

As I read through the comments, I noticed a common pattern: when someone excels in their current role, we often envision them in higher positions. For instance, some comments suggest that Sumana would make a great Prime Minister. However, rather than merely cheering for her to become Prime Minister, let’s actively support her in achieving her current goals. It’s essential to remember that we lost a talented journalist, Ravi Lamicchane, because many wanted him to be Prime Minister. Unfortunately, we now lack both an effective Prime Minister and a gifted journalist.

[@binoddangol3364]

Rightly said

[@jyotir5423]

To me she is 3 things: 1. A geek who has intimate understanding of the problems and is equipped with practical solutions. 2. A wise person who knows right from wrong. 3. A representation of the new generation Nepal that is not only fed up but also has all the drive to change the status quo. What she is not is, I think , a politician who is skillfully shrewd. Hopefully, in time she will be that as well, and be the Statesman that the country never had. P.S. I listened to it twice.

[@vrindakandel9819]

Great comment. However I think that public has to meet someone like her half way too. Where sound bites don’t get you votes but like she said public needs to be aware and ask hard questions to their representatives. As knowledge comes to center stage and not charisma or flamboyance, leaders like her are bound to make appearances. In a way her not fitting in a stereotype politician makes her a better politician. I would have been more concerned if it was a guy who been to jail for 10 years in his 60s-70s with a high school degree and in a political party for half a century in that stage.

[@cameocobra9816]

It is true as said by Sumana, that rural children have more freedom than urban children. Freedom is important for children to learn, explore, and challenge ideas while building and sharing their opinions. People need freedom for better decision-making in life.

[@bishnujatit7359]

TEDx Talks मा नेपाली वक्ता देख्दा खुसी लाग्यो। तपाईंले भनेको कुरा सत्य हो, सहरी बालबालिकाको तुलनामा ग्रामीण क्षेत्रका बालबालिका बढी स्वतन्त्र छन बच्चाहरूलाई सिक्न, अन्वेषण गर्न र विचारहरूलाई चुनौती दिन स्वतन्त्रता महत्त्वपूर्ण छ।

[@DarakSinghRai]

I feel so glad of her explanation. It’s really good for us.

[@Cygnusk]

नेपाली वक्ता Ted ed मा देख्दा खुसी लाग्यो।

[@modernsage8132]

eatika limelight certain Nepali lai kina dieindai cha , be proud but be skeptical

[@thediscplinedtrader]

There's nothing to be skeptical.. You do gooddeeds. People come looking for you. Recent e.g is balen to france. Think positive. The question is why no one was invited before, lol .

[@FunFacT641]

Nothing skeptical , ted x global platform not only nepal every personality that contribute to a society , they deserve to be here to share ideas , vision ,their motivation to other and it is been here since long period of time ,

[@premkhadka1996]

She is our educated education minister . We proud of your intelligence work sumana di🔔

[@sakshamshrestha5156]

Really relate to what Sumana is trying to tell. People choose their political party with the intent of getting personal favours or even to get basic governmental work done. They stick to the party like it's their religion. Vote for them again and again and never see change for the better...

[@egallerynepal8352]

Intellectual property of Nepal 'Sumana Shrestha'_ education minister ❤

[@nirutanepal8900]

When someone see hope within them , then this is for sure that he/ she will see hope in everything and in every way . We feel so fortunate and proud to see women like you leading the education of Nepal and inspiring the youths . Thank you very much

[@rosy3076]

It's very rare to see youths having interest in politics where everyone here is literally fed up with the system. What a great initiative you have. Seeing youthful leaders like you is a ray of hope for we Nepalis. It feels good to know the country is in safe hands.

[@2034plateu]

Yeah it's good to see such young dynamic leaders but at the end they just have become what they used to speak against..power hungry, defending the guy who seems to hv shady nature ..we expect accountability from new gen leaders

[@valorantnp]

Miss you are a great thinker. We are very fortunate to have you on board!

[@nabingyawali2341]

Nice to see you on TED talks ❤️

[@komalgurung4342]

Excellent!! We need more representatives in the parliament who can really question, model, guide, and direct the bureaucrats. We all should support and help a member of parliament like Sumana Shrestha irrespective of our political perspective. Dear M.P. Sumana Shrestha, keep up the great work. We are proud of you. Peace....

[@balaramsharma4966]

You are the best and honest leader . Best wishes from core of my heart to respected Education Minister Sumana Shrestha. If our nation is lead by such an expert with honesty, we will feel safe in our own country . Nowadays everyone is very upset with the situation and problems in our country. I also can feel we are made poor, uneducated and forced to struggle by old politicians like Congress, UML and Mao leader. They always gave beautiful and heartwarming speech but never put their words in actions rather they engaged in corruptions and misusing of power for their own benefits.

[@kishorgaire7499]

There is a significant dilemmas among the students persuading higher education in Nepal. Whether to stay here to struggle or go abroad to another level of struggle is common. Minister like her gives hope to those who want a positive change in systems.

[@bhimsenkhadka5478]

[@SeemaLohani-jj8lt]

She is the first Nepali to be happened in Tedxtalks so proud 🙌❤️

[@aeayris2]

She's definitely not the first, wth, search for others

[@subodhyadav6562]

Wow 👏 that's really awesome ❤ Corruption is not only in monetary terms but also not doing the work who is responsible to do ❤ Great vision we must appreciate and support The so called lazy people need to go and the young and visionary people should get to work ❤👏💓

[@we_can452]

A proud moment to be called Nepalese on having someone's in such platform!!

[@nabarajtiwari8401]

On this big platform of public speaking, I ever seen the first speaker from Nepal, is you. I always appreciate and admire of your political movement. You are the idol of millions of young and well educated Nepali people. Wish you a fruitful and successful ministerial tenure. Thank you so much.

[@khadkasameeksha]

Truly just the change in the name from King to Prime Minister isn't enough. I've heard this sad reality from my +2 teacher back then and years later still seeing the same situation is pathetic. We Nepalese have high hopes from you Sumana ma'am. Best wishes!!! ❤

[@vasuboy20]

Our Education minister is an example and inspiration for many youths

[@Spark10-0]

A true presentation… a true leader we can hope something out of… she has a dream and she has a vision of how to attain that dream. She has a destination and she knows how to reach that destination. I can feel that She does not want to talk big but she has zeal to to really do something.

[@storysurvival4534]

I fell really great while listening her.🎉🎉 Thanks TEDx in Nepal 🇳🇵

[@snitchdo3758]

Thank yoy ted ❤❤❤ सुमना you are wonderful🎉🎉

[@rajivpaudel2661]

Sumana Shrestha is a very potent leader in the making. She has perspectives, which I believe is the most important thing we need at the moment- wide wide perspective; the perspectives of broader and diversified ideas and openness to learn further. She has done a wonderful work in potraying what she envisions and dream to audiences through this TED talk. However, after listening to this, I truly believe she could do better in communicating in more powerful way than this one. I mean she should. I would suggest her to work with professional mass communication consultants to work on her mass communication, so that the ideas that she wants to communicate do not miss out with lesser impact.

[@SunilkumarGupta-st1no]

i am feeling so proud n good to see here in tedx

[@yeti08]

Great speech and very motivational. Iagree with you when you said “we want a system where we don’t need to know somebody”. Hopefully someday ties will become true. In addition to that, we want a system where we don’t have to rely on quotas based on castes, ethical group or certain geographical area.

[@manishanepali8882]

I am studnet of IR, and when she says When bureocrats doesn't do their work, that's more harmful then corruption, that 💯 correct. Burecroats are the permanent government and our constitution lacks the frameworm for them to guide. Genuinely happy to see someone analyzing this. Aba kehi hunxa ki!!!

[@ASHUTOSHGAJRAJ]

great speech on generating awareness about the need to update the bureaucracy

[@anukulacharya3001]

The leader We Need. Much Love Sumana Didi. Very Happy to SEE Nepali In TED Talks

[@stockchitwan8505]

Thank you education minister we are proud❤ of you

Respected minister Well defined 🇳🇵🙏🤗

[@hrishabhmahaju1020]

Bureaucrats are the hands and feet of the law and policy model of a country. Although they are driven by lawmakers and practitioners, it is a known fact that they often represent themselves with a sense of dignity and self-entitlement. This raises the question of how often do they position themselves to empathize with the situation. The big change that we always talk about in the country is actually massively dependent on them.

[@bimalashrestha2563]

Despite the negative perception of most political leaders in Nepal as corrupt and unreliable, seeing leaders like Sumana gives hope that Nepal can be guided by committed and effective governance

[@andrewpun754]

Very nice.

[@alishadhami2362]

Building a strong knowledge base about a specific subject in a country can attract international students and their financial contributions. By offering high-quality education, research opportunities, and favorable policies for international students, a country can enhance its reputation as an educational destination. This can lead to increased enrollment from abroad, thereby bringing in significant economic benefits through tuition fees, accommodation spending, and other related expenditures. Effective marketing and collaboration with international educational agencies can further amplify these advantages. We see a potential on you ❤

[@Adwrells]

Woow ❤❤
