About Us

Background

Following the April 2006 movement, Nepal celebrated the re-emergence of political freedom. While embracing this achievement, Samriddhi believes there’s more to be done. The movement for economic freedom has just begun. We’ve embarked on a journey to make Nepal a place where people have the access to opportunities to freely pursue happiness and prosperity. Emulating the principles of democratic practices recognized in the 21st century, Samriddhi, The Prosperity Foundation is registered under the Company Act of Nepal as a not for profit organization. It believes in people’s power and recognizes individuals as the top notch of the power center.

Vision

Samriddhi, The Prosperity Foundation, envisions a free and prosperous Nepal where individuals can live a dignified life in a vibrant and democratic society with equal access to opportunities and respect for the rule of law.

Mission

To promote ideas of freedom- civil, political and economic- through public policy recommendations (based on independent research), educational programs and public participation for a free and prosperous Nepal.

Objectives

In order to realize its vision, Samriddhi sets the following objectives for itself: congenial to the principles and practice of freedom.

1.    To conduct research and generate alternative ides on the social, economic and political agendas to throw light upon the contemporary issues of public discourse and come up with policy advocacy documents to bring them into wider rhetoric.

2.    To lobby for and monitor the implementation of bsic social, political and economic rights while promoting transparency and advocacy as the basis of a prosperous Nepal.

3.    To educate, train and empower public on active citizenry, ideas of free society and entrepreneurship, and the role they can play at influencing policy level decisions.

Freedom and equality: when are they mutually exclusive?

by Sarita Sapkota | 02 September, 2010

In the article 'Seven Principles of Sound Public Policy', Lawrence W. Reed stated his first principle as "Free people are not equal, and equal people are not free". Not referring to equality as the equality before law and purely taking it in a sense of material wealth, many people I know find the statement agreeable but somehow they don't like the sound of it and in a political setting like ours, its only predictable.
