Nepal, the Land of Mountains, Hills and Terai.

 Welcome to the land of Mountains, Hills and Terai. We will explore more about this land facts, information and news about this amazing land...

Some suggestions for amend of the constitution after the Gen Z movement.


Nepal's current government and parliamentary structure appear to be quite expensive and extensive. After the formation of provincial and local governments, many public services and structures were supposed to be decentralized and handed down accordingly. However, this has not been effectively implemented. To align with the spirit of the constitution and to strengthen federalism while maximizing efficiency, some adjustments to the central government and parliament seem essential. Therefore, the following proposals have been put forward to restructure the current system:

1. One District, One Representative

Parliamentarians are meant to formulate policies, not engage in development work. Each district should have just one representative.
There is no need for absentee parliamentarians who merely sign attendance for allowances but fail to meet the quorum during sessions.

  • MPs receive salaries for being in office.
  • They receive additional meeting allowances for attending parliamentary sessions.
  • If attending the parliament is their main job, why is there a separate allowance for it? Strange!
  • Moreover, some just sign in and leave, yet still claim allowances, while the parliament struggles to meet quorum.
  • How long will we keep electing such irresponsible representatives?

Furthermore, the rationale behind proportional representation seats must be clarified to the public, as they are often misused to bring in wives, children, brothers-in-law, contractors, and businessmen into parliament.

2. 8-10 Ministries

To strengthen federalism, local and provincial governments should be given responsibility for implementing projects within their respective areas, while the federal government should focus only on national priority projects. Therefore, the current 20-22 ministries at the federal level could be reduced to 8-10.

Additionally, ministers should be appointed only from MPs with relevant experience and qualifications in their respective ministries. This would reduce the race for ministerial positions and help MPs focus more on parliamentary duties.

3. An Expert and Inclusive National Assembly

Since elected parliamentary bodies may lack representation from subject-matter expertslaw-making processes should include experienced professionals from various fields.

To address this, a 50-member National Assembly should be formed, including experts with a minimum educational qualification or at least 8-10 years of professional experience, ensuring inclusive representation.

Additionally, to reduce the number of VIP positions, the Vice President should also serve as the Chairperson of the National Assembly.


Now or Never: The Reform for Nepal Public Governance

 After the September 8 and 9 revolution, Nepal is on the midway between a new sunrise or the same dark era of old governance.

Many voice have been loud now for the complete reform of the executive and legislature body of the nation. Within this the complete reform of the government bodies, ministries and other administrative bodies of the government is the most. So this is the best time to implement reforms to reduce Nepal's current government expenditure.

The basic and foremost transformation is needed in Health, Education and Employment.

The current lower house parliament consists of 275 members. As parliament members mole is to formulate policies not meant to develop infrastructure. One representative per district is enough. So, 77 parliament members representing each district is enough for parliament. The national assembly or the Rastriya Sabha consists of 59 members. It can be restructured to include experts from various fields that cannot be represented in the parliament with 23 members making total size of legislature 100 only which will drastically cut off current size of 334.

Bureaucracy, the permanent government of a nation is the area which needs a complete reform with citizens oriented service in frontline rather than the old hectic and lengthy service. Single Window System, the complete output of any service from a single point where the initial application is summitted, is necessary in the public governance of Nepal. Every government office should reform their working motive with service delivery and transparency first. The government offices should be reorganized with simple and efficient organizational structure replacing the old bulkier structures. 

The current 22 ministries in the federal government are enormous size for the efficient federal mobilization. So, there is quick need of  reformation of the federal ministries and their scope of work by releasing respective works to province and local governments. About 14 ministries in federal government are sufficient to address the federal powers.  

Also there has been a debate over size of Nepalese Army But the current scenario after the revolution has shown the importance of military force in the nation. So, leaving the debate over the size of Nepal Army, there has been a need to reorganize and restructure the Nepal Police and APF into one unit.  These two units should me merged and made efficient with special forces within them for general public security and emergency securities. 

Education, Health and Employment: The mush anticipated reformation in Mainstream

 After the September 8 and 9 revolution, the Gen Z Revolution, Nepal is on a road way of reform for Transparency and Good Governance. Its Now or Never. For this transformation, Education, Health and Employment sectors are the most fundamental sectors to be massively reorganized.

Education:

Currently, the school level education in the country is of 2 different categories, as debated by the mass: the government schools and the private schools. The government schools hold about 65% students while the public schools hold the remaining 35% but yearly the ratio is increasing in private schools. Private schools dominate in urban areas but in remote and hilly areas, government schools are the major pillar for the country. Though the number of students is nearly half in the private schools, talking about the result output, private schools seem to cross the barrier above the government schools. Though the government has invested about 10% of national budget, the result hasn't been as expected. The private sector have heavily invested so their contribution to education also cannot be diminished. But the main concern is to raise the standards of government schools. Currently, the education of government and private schools has been matched with the prosperity and fame also and people are taking their children's to private schools also creating a huge financial burden over their income. So, actions must be taken to reform the government schools.

1. The  public servants should be made compulsory to admit their children's in government school only then the Bureaucrats and politicians working directly in indirectly in education sector will have a different view over these schools.

2. The school curriculum should be heavily revised to include moral education, history of Nepal and vocational activities.

Health:

1. The public insurance should be widely spread to cover all the lower and middle class individuals.

2. The government quota of medical persons should be increased as per demand to reach the remote areas also.


Employment:

1.The employment opportunities must be increased by promoting tourism, agriculture and other production sectors.


Academic Chancellor: the single step measure to right track the Nepali Universities.

Currently, the Prime minister of Nepal Government is the Chancellor of all the Universities of Nepal. So, even to pass the policies, programs, budget and even small administrative decision, the political leadership has been very influential in the Universities, dragging the overall higher education system of the nation behind.

The political leadership have been heavily linked even in appointment of academic position breaking the merit. This has been the blunder in the Universities of Nepal. And also the approval from the politician even in small decisions and appointment has not only delayed the whole educational calendar, but led the universities into their darkest era. The political party in government have been dominant to appoint their close persons in every post and the student unions form the opposing parties have been the face of opposition to create violence and disturb the regular works in the name of students making universities the open battel ground for the parties.

So, the one step solution by removing this policy to appoint chancellor from within the academia of the University is the first, foremost and a must step to change the track of Higher education in the country. 

Also, Nepali Universities should modify their curriculum with the motive of Earning while Learning for the youths to take studies and economic life side by side which can be a revolutionary approach to reform Higher Education of Nepal.


The Gen Z Revolution: Nepal's pathway to Transparency and Good Governance.

After the September 8 and 9 revolution, the Gen Z Revolution, a non political government has been formed to withheld the elections on April 3 2026.

The current government has all non political faces in the cabinet breaking the regime of the 3 legged musical chair in the Executive body of the nation.

Some new signs of hope have been seen with this government.

Now. at least the mediators, popularly termed as 'Bichauliya' in Nepali do not have access to the bedroom of the Prime minister and ministers.

The Finance ministry is now addressing issues reported through email. A action that never happened before.

The current ministers have work and education experience in the area which they are leading the ministry, breaking the barriers of completely unrelated and inexperienced ones handling the ministry.

Also the major parties congress and maoist have already started their reformation and hope other parties will.

So, the fresh mandate on April 3 is the sunshine of new hopes leading to good governance, transparency and accountability in the nation.
