Discussing education reforms, the Prime Minister mentioned that free and compulsory education up to the basic level is already in place, with the possibility of free university education in the future, subject to available resources.
On property rights, he referenced Article 25 of Nepal’s Constitution, which ensures citizens' right to property under legal provisions, including land ceilings and a progressive tax system.

PM Oli made it clear that capital punishment cannot be imposed for corruption offenses due to Article 16 of Nepal’s Constitution and Nepal’s commitment to the Second Optional Protocol of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.

The Prime Minister assured that the government is serious about completing national pride projects like the Sikta and Babai Irrigation Projects on time. He revealed that Rs 22.43 billion has already been paid toward outstanding project liabilities.
