Mr. Chairman,

Program delegates,

Ladies and Gentlemen,

It gives me immense pleasure to address this august gathering at this opening session of this Training Program on "Development of Rural Financing Institutions and Cooperatives" in Nepal. 

At the outset, I would like to thank Centre for International Cooperation and Training in Agricultural Banking (CICTAB) for again selecting Nepal to host this topical program and would give my best wishes to the Nepalese organizing member-institutions for success of the program. 

I would like to extend my warm welcome to all the foreign and national participants at the inauguration of this 5-day program being held in Kathmandu.
