Speaking during the program ANLBS chairperson Mira Chaudhary called upon all staff to seriously review what they have been doing and what they could have done to achieve the organization goal.  She asked them to motivate the additional members to take loan to start up some small business in their places.

Similarly, addressing the participants of the program the founding chairperson of the promoter organization Rural Women Development Centre (RWDC) or Gramin Mahila Utthan Kendra and founding chairperson of ANLBS Aasmani Chaudhary stressed the need to coordinate with the project staff of RWDC in expanding the areas of ANLBS and increasing the membership.

Likewise, the chief guest Nitya Nanda Sharma appreciated the commendable mission and vision seen and implemented by its visionary leadership of ANLBS. He further indicated that Nepal could achieve the highest development and prosperity if all the leaders could think and work like Aasmani Chaudhary.

He added, "This organization has empowered the rural women which is appreciatory work in Dang district. Today Nepal is facing chaotic situation as youths are drifting to foreign countries in search of jobs and opportunities. In this situation, the organization has enabled many youths to do something within the country. The government should also invest in such ventures. I will be willing to support this organization whenever and wherever my assistance arise."

Lastly, the presiding chair of the program Shogat Bir Chaudhary said that since ANLBS has been awarded the highest tax payer award in Rapti area in the last three years, the government should provide peace and security to microfinance services as the field staff are sometimes molested by the so called struggle committee members under the instigation of people who are politically motivated to defame microfinance services that are indeed reducing poverty index of the country.
