Sahara Joshi remains as an ex-officio member. At the 20th Annual General Meeting in Kathmandu, Shrestha introduced "Vision 2025," aimed at enhancing member value through excellence, growth, and innovation.

The plan includes expanding chapters from 13 to 17, increasing membership to 1,500, and implementing programs like a mentorship system, mini-Olympics, and international trips. Minister of Industries Damodar Bhandari emphasized government collaboration with the private sector to foster an investment-friendly environment.

The FNCCI’s amended statute will include NYEF representation in its executive committee. Several NYEF chapters were honored for their contributions, and the forum, with over 850 members, has created around 30,000 job opportunities across Nepal.
