Kathmandu, Nepal — On the occasion of Girls in ICT Day 2025, Nepal reaffirmed its commitment to promoting gender inclusion in the information and communication technology (ICT) sector. The program, held in Kathmandu, underscored the need for increased women’s participation in ICT for achieving digital transformation.

Addressing the event, Secretary of the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology, Raghika Aryal, emphasized the importance of women’s active engagement in ICT. “Nepal has made remarkable progress in the information technology sector, but women’s participation remains alarmingly low. The ministry has been investing to bridge this gap,” Aryal stated.

She also highlighted the government’s plans to establish ICT laboratories in rural areas to enhance women’s access and involvement in technology. The ministry is set to update ICT and AI policies, along with telecommunication-related acts, to create a more inclusive and supportive digital ecosystem. Aryal further noted Nepal’s commitment to building an inclusive and opportunity-filled digital future, as pledged in the 1995 Belgium Declaration.

Similarly, Anita Niroula, Joint Secretary of the Ministry of Education, Science, and Technology, revealed the ministry’s goal of closing the gender gap in the digital world. She asserted that the government has ensured quality education, digital literacy, and technical resources for all students, regardless of gender.

Participants at the event voiced concerns about women’s limited representation in ICT careers and called for policies to involve girls and women at decision-making levels. The program concluded with a collective commitment to fostering a fearless, inclusive, and opportunity-rich digital future for women in Nepal.

Girls in ICT Day serves as a reminder of the challenges and opportunities in achieving gender equality in the technology sector. As Nepal continues its digital transformation journey, inclusive policies and targeted programs are key to ensuring that no one is left behind.
