Lumbini's True Potential Unexplored, Says Expert Hem Bahadur Bist

Expert Hem Bahadur Bist states that Lumbini is not just a site for religious tourism but a center for human civilization, peace, compassion, and ideological transformation, though it has not been developed accordingly. He believes the Lumbini Development Trust, formed in 2042 BS, has not performed as expected and lacks the capacity to understand current aspirations. Bist suggests dissolving the Trust and advancing development through an interim mechanism, emphasizing the need for a clear state perspective and a future-oriented vision plan.
