Deputy Mayor Sunita Dangol selected as Young Global Leader 2025

KATHMANDU: Kathmandu Metropolitan City Deputy Mayor Sunita Dangol has been selected as the World Economic Forum’s Young Global Leader-2025.

The World Economic Forum is an international network of extraordinary people with a bright future.

Although thousands of applications are submitted, only a limited number of people are selected.

116 people under the age of 40 from around the world have been selected in various categories including culture, heritage, sports, business, social workers, and politicians.

This year, while 11 people have been selected from South Asia, only Dangol has been selected from Nepal. While 19 people have been selected from the political field, Dangol has also been selected.

Along with Dangol, Thai Prime Minister Phaythongthaung Shinawatra and Indian Civil Aviation Minister K. Rammohan Naidu have also been selected from the political field. Dangol said that she is happy to have been selected as a Young Global Leader. ‘I am proud to be selected like this,’ she said, ‘I am even happier to be selected as a youth leader, representing the whole of Nepal on this platform around the world.’

She said that she believes in youth as a carrier of change, and that she feels that she is representing the entire youth when she is selected on this platform that will give a positive message to the whole world. ‘This selection has made me feel more responsible,’ she said, ‘It has also encouraged me to do better in the role I am in.’

The winner of ‘Miss Newa 2011’ is also the person who introduced the Dangol Script Queen. Her team, including her, held ‘workshops’ in public places such as citizens’ homes, squares, tolls and roads to preserve local scripts, and extended the reach of ‘Kalijatra’ through the valley to the districts and abroad.

She was selected for this because she has succeeded in preserving local scripts and even reaching the position of deputy mayor of the capital
