Addressing a programme organised on the occasion of ‘International Girls in ICT Day- 2017’ by Nepal Telecommunications Authority (NTA) here today, Minister Karki, who is also the Government Spokesperson, said women’s participation and access to the entire ICT sector in Nepal was far less and it should be increased.
