Topography of Kathmandu Valley
The topography of Kathmandu valley has changed a lot over the years. The rapid urbanization specially after 2070's has made Kathmandu valley a concrete hub with overall change of the land use pattern and drainage pattern. The narrowing of river channels, encroachment of small tributaries has disturbed the water path flow increasing the risk of flooding in the valley.
The topography and land use of Kathmandu valley around 1994 can be seen in the following Topographic map.

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.
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.
Right to Reject: Nepal's Democratic Dilemma!
"Right to Reject," or "None of the Above" (NOTA), is an option on election ballots that allows voters to express their view that they do not support any of the candidates. This option will compel the political parties to find more suitable candidates. So, it is one of the democratic ways to highlight voter dissatisfaction that can help in political reform.
On January,2014, the Supreme Court has directed the government to provision the voters’ “right to reject” all candidates in elections.
Its been 11 years past and still the Government and Election Commission have not shown any interest in implementing this decision and the court ruling, was not implemented in the 2017 and 2022 elections. This rule will allow a voter with an option to reject all the candidates mentioned on ballot papers by ticking in a particular box set for the purpose.
So, to pressurize the Government and Election Commission lets trend #RightToRejectin2082 #WeWantRightToRejectin2082 in social media platforms.
Nepal's Federal Government and Organization needs a massive reshuffle.
After the September 8 and 9 revolution, Nepal is on the path of fresh election mandates. 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. Its now or never situation for Nepal now to make its organizational structure competent and deliverable.
Nepal's current government and parliamentary structure appear to be quite expensive and extensive. 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 so a special department/committe to restructure the size of federal government and cut off the expenditure rapidly.
Some possible steps may be:
1. Only 14 Ministries in Nepal Government.
2. Can Monarchy be a solution for current Nepalese Political scenario?
3. Nepal Army; Increase or Decrease the size?, The debate of size of Nepalese Army!!
4. How long will the rule of the elderly continue?
5. Some suggestions for amend of the constitution to the current alliance between Congress and UML.

Nepal's current government and parliamentary structure appear to be quite expensive and extensive. Also the province governments have not been able to exercise the powers as mentioned in government because of similar power exercise form federal government. So, to reduce the government current expenditure and share powers among province and local governments, the federal government should rapidly cut of the current 22 ministries to 14 ministries as follows.
