Kathmandu. MPs have registered important amendments in the 'National Service Corps Bill, 2083' to make the National Service Corps more organized, inclusive, and timely. In the bill, 14 MPs from the House of Representatives have demanded significant changes in the form and scope of the service corps by registering amendments in 78 points.

Proposing amendments to the preamble of the bill, Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP) MPs Sushil Khadka and Niti Ma Bhandari Karki have demanded clarification of the age limit for participation in the service corps. Their proposal is to allow any eligible Nepali youth who have completed 13 years of age and have not yet reached 21 years to participate, not just 'students studying in schools'.
