MoCIT calls for NTA chairman vacancy

Government (Ministry of Communication and Information Technology) has called for the application of the Vacant NTA chairman post. MoCIT has given time till Ashad 9 to the interested candidates for the submission of the application for NTA chairman.

The top position of the regulator for telecommunication in Nepal has been vacant from some months after the resignation of Digambar Jha. Although he assumed the post from open competition, there was huge dissatisfaction within the ruling party, Nepal Communist Party, which could be the reason for his resignation.

After his resignation, MoCIT gave full authority to Senior Director Mr. Purushottam Khanal to function as an acting Chairman.

Qualifications and experience

Any Nepali nationals of age 30 to 65 and 10 years of experience in the telecom sector with following detailed qualifications and experience can apply for the post.
