Kathmandu:
Gen-Z leader Sudan Gurung, along with a group of like-minded citizens, has announced the launch of the National Unification Campaign and a civic platform called ‘The Civilian Force’, aiming to unite Nepalis who seek meaningful change on a single national platform.
In a video message released on Thursday night, Gurung announced that the test version of the campaign’s official website “rastraekikaranabhiyan.com” has been made public. He said the platform is designed to collect problems faced by ordinary citizens at the grassroots level and present them to the state in an organized manner, acting as a bridge between citizens and decision-making bodies.
According to Gurung, the platform will operate on two major agendas. Under the national agenda, broader national issues such as political instability, governance challenges, and possible solutions will be discussed collectively. Under local issues, citizens will be able to directly report everyday problems including village and toll roads, bridges, drinking water, education, and health services.
The campaign will rely heavily on modern technology. Gurung said that in Version 2, an artificial intelligence system known as Agent AI will be introduced. This AI will be trained using Nepal’s Constitution and existing laws to analyze citizens’ complaints from a legal perspective. A team of experts will verify the AI’s findings and prepare a final draft.
He further explained that a Shadow Government team based in Kathmandu will then submit the verified issues to concerned ministries and departments and apply pressure for their implementation.
“Leaders are powerful after elections, but now the people must be powerful,” Gurung said in the video. “This platform will organize citizens’ voices and make the people the real decision-makers.”
Clarifying the campaign’s nature, Gurung stressed that it is not a political party, but rather an organized civic force advocating for systemic change in the country.
At present, the initiative is focused on areas with internet access. Gurung acknowledged the challenge of reaching remote villages and mountain districts without connectivity but said work is underway to ensure that their problems are also brought to the national level in the future. “This is just our first step,” he said. “We will find solutions to the problems of every Nepali.”
Official Launch on January 11
The test version of the platform will remain open for 10 days to gather public feedback. Based on suggestions received, Version 1 will be officially launched on January 11, marking Earth Day and National Unity Day. Gurung has urged Nepalis at home and abroad to visit the website and participate in what he described as a major nation-building campaign.
