Kathmandu. Om Devi Malla, chairperson of Nepal National Cooperatives Federation, has resigned from her post after 26 months of being elected to the post. She has been in the United States for 6 months and has sent her resignation today.

She said that she was under a lot of stress and resigned in the midst of that stress.

“I did not have any stress while working in the cooperative sector, I did not have any stress while working from the bottom of the committee, I do not know where it came from after becoming the chairman, I do not know which branch brought it, I have left from the official responsibility of the federation with the thinking that I do not have to sit in the leadership by facing pressure from anyone every day.

He complained that he has not received full support from internal and external level since he became the FNCCI president.

“Although I was elected unilaterally on the basis of the FNJ, I could not work as per the plan due to the pressure that I have to consult the departmental heads of the party before every meeting of the FNJ and that the decisions should be in line with the party’s interest,” she said. However, due to the support of some teammates and the positive work style of the staff, some important work has also been done.

He also complained that he was mentally stressed due to the interference from the party’s cooperative department.

“I tried my best to bring together all the political activists in the federation, but I was in a state of non-cooperation even though I was on the board with friends from the same party,” she said, adding, “I was mentally weak due to the insult and interference of my own friends.” ’

He said that he had come to the US last August on the advice of his family that he would be able to stay abroad with his family for some time to reduce the stress along with the treatment. “Will anything change when you come here? But it was because of the pressure from the party leadership, the friends of the federation repeatedly pressured him to resign. If he did not resign, he would take the no-confidence motion to the general assembly and remove it. I sent a congratulatory message to the General Assembly, but due to a lot of pressure, I decided to resign. ’

“I was unanimously elected as the president of the National Cooperative Federation of Nepal (NCFN), the apex body of the cooperative movement of Nepal, for the last six months for medical treatment and family reunions,” she said. She said that she had come home with a plan to return home before the 33rd annual general meeting held in December last year but could not attend the general meeting due to poor health condition and sent a message of best wishes.

He claimed that many works have been done including continuation of the stalled budget in the ministry, holding seminars in all seven provinces in collaboration with the government, publishing the cooperative national song, celebrating the International Cooperative Year 2025, dialogue on cooperative policy with the government, cooperative digital conclave, cooperative employment fair and many other works.
