The Evolution of Administration in Nepal THE EVOLUTION OF ADMINISTRATION IN NEPAL From 1951 to 1960 BY GEHA RAJ JOSHI RESEARCH SCHOLAR UNDER THE TECHNICAL COOPERATION SCHEME OF (COLOMBO PLAN) JUNE, 1963 Thesis submitted for Ph. D. Degree in Political Science to Aligarh Muslim University, Aligarh, India. T2939 ABSTR ACT k study of the complete picture of the administration in Nepal as it evolved from 1951, or (during the period of one decade) has been done in the present wrk. During theRana Regime there was no administration in the true sense. It was the personal rule of the perpetually hereditary Rana Prime Ministers, his monbers of the family and his followers. This phase of Nepalese Rana Administration continued for a full century. This crumbled down at the dissatisfaction of the agitating masses and the disgust of the late King Tribhuwana. It was only in 1961, that Nepal emerged from the land of rudiment of administration into a country with full fledged modern democratic state based upon enlightended and benevolent administration and its several institutions. For the first time, the detailed ^alysis of the modern new administration and its experiments have been described. Thus, in this thesis, an attempt has been made to examine the various germs (genesis) of well-organized system of public administration in Nepal, The various administrative units and the growth of modern administration in Nepal has been explained and elaborated in altogether seven chapt^'s. First of all, it was felt necessary to trace the influence of geographical position and the political history of Nepal on the changes and tendencies of public administration in Nepal, After doing this (introduction) the first chapter entitled •Nepalese Rana Administration^ serves as the background for the further study of subsequent chapters. The second chapter 'New Administration lays down basic anr sound principles, salient features of the mater id. s and methods of modern adminlstratioji founded in Nepal In the year I951, Also in this chapter, -2- explanations have been made on the significance of the establishment of new administrative machinery in Nepal (1961), The third chapter is devoted to the discussion of administrative organization as it evolved during the period of 1951 to'1960. This Important discussion of administrative organization has been made in two separate chapters (3rd and 4th), The third chapt^ is concerned with the enumeration of departmental type of administration with some selected ministries and each ministry's organization has been explained in detail. The fourth chapter has elucidated as Corporation, Commission, Board type of administrative organization and some other independent agencies. In the fifth chapter, a fine well regulated system of personnel administration with special reference to administrative reorganization and screening of civil services has been described fully. In the sixth chapter, the novel and unique type of financid. administration has been mentioned. For the first time in the history of the adminis- tration in Nepal, a Finance Ministry was set up and the financial administration emerged as an important aspect of the study of public administration in Nepal. Explanations have been offered, detailed discussions and analysis have been covered on the methods of the preparation of budget, its voting procedure, execution of budgetary expenditures and finally the accountability and auditing of public expenditures. In the last seventh chapter, the Implications and innovations of important devices of public administration in Nepal, namely District Administration, Secretariat and the Institute of .3. Public Administration has been demonstrated fully. In the end, I should like to mention one thing that in all the seven chapters barring introduction, every item has been examined critically and many suggestions have been offered as new lines and possible ways of reforms for a vigorous and efficient administration in Nepal.

It will not be possible to understand the recent changes and tendencies in the administration of Nepal without taking into consideration its geographic^ position and its political history in a nut shell. Nepal lies along the southern slopes of central Himalayas. Along its northemboundairy it adjoins Tibet on the east it has the state of Sikkim and the DarReeling district of West Bengal, on the west it has Kumaon and the river Maha Kali, and on the south it is bounded by Bengal, Bihar and Uttaflf Pradesh. The country is a narrow tract extending for about 650 miles in length and its breadth no where exceeds 140 miles. The country has four district zones, 1, The Terai area. 2, The Duns, 3. The Hill country, and 4. The Mountain Regioii. In the north it is surrounded by the highest peak of the world but it is traversed by several passes leading into Tibet, The hill territory from Himalaya to Sikklm/(?ivided into four natural divisionsj These enormous ridges run parallel to each another and each of the natural division into which Nepal is divided, is walled in on all four sides by mountain bgrriers. Bach of the three mountain basins de- rives its name from the river by which it is drained, namely (a) the western division or the basin of Karnali, (b) the central division or the basin of Gundak and (c) - r the Eastern division or the basin of Kosi. The area of the country is nearly 54, 000 sq. miles anfl according to the population of 1953 census ^as 84 lafchs, 31 thousand five hundred and fifty seven. Most of the people are illiterate and backward. Its economic position is not very sound. The chief occupations of the people is agriculture but in recent years attempts have been made through the cooperation of expearts from the United Nations to set up small scale cottage Industries, The main items of export consist of agricultural products, forest products and dairy products. For the purpose of administration the country have been divided into 32 districts. SIISTM HILL DISTRICTSt 1. East No,l 2. East No.2 3. East No.3 4. East No.4 5.

Prithvi NaTaina Shah formerly a ruler of small state of Gorkha^, conquecred al*most all the adjoining states in Nepal and set up a unified centralised sovereign kingdom in the later half of the 18th century. Expansion of the territory continued from time to time toxifards the south under the ruler ship of P.N, C) Shah and his descendants. Battles were fought for supremacy with the then British Government in India during the reign of King Girwana, Yudha Bikram Shah and ultimately a peace treaty was signed at Sugauli in I860, Nepal was recognised under this treaty as an independent unit but its foreign policy was under the control of British Gov/ernment, During the reigp of Rajendra Bikram Shah palace conflicts and intrigues enable m Jung Bahadur Hana to succeed in taking over the Pri^e Ministership in 1846, This office was later perpetuated as herediatary title. The then King ceased to be the defacto ruler of the country aia! and this state of affairs continued for well over a century. During this period namely the RanaReglmie the Prime Minister (Shri Teen) acted as the real head of the state while King was only a symbol, %e King was venerated as religious representa- tive rather than as political head of the state. There is a famous saying in Nepal which runs in Nepali " Stone never speaks and the King does not nove". On account of contact without side world specially after the second world war it was not long possible to keep the Nepalese in bondage and consequently there was popular uprising against the Ran a Regime, In February 1951, Nepal was declared a democratic sovereign state by the late King Tribhuwana who had been installed in the office by the popular will of the people. Under the interim government of Nepal Act 1951, a cabinet was formed in cooperation with the vsffious political parties, k constitution was also formed lod in 1969 the first general elections were held under it. The first elected cabinet with a bicameral legislature was set up under the Prime Ministership of Shri B.P.Koirala, In December, i960, however, the Koirala cabinet was dissolved and the legislature put into a cold storage by a Royal Proclama- tion under the provisions of the emergency powers mentioned In the Special Arrangement Act, I960, k new Council of Ministers was set up with the king as the head, A.t the same time, the King issued a proclamation that he did not intend to revert to an autocratic rule.

  • Zombie Slayers in a “Hidden Valley” (Sbas Yul): Sacred Geography and Political Organisation in the Nepal-Tibet Borderland1
    Zombie Slayers in a “Hidden Valley” (sbas yul): Sacred Geography and Political Organisation in the Nepal-Tibet Borderland1 Francis Khek Gee Lim The Himalaya, with its high peaks and deep valleys, served for centuries as natural geographical frontier and boundary between the kingdoms and states of South Asia it straddles. Given the strategic advantage of controlling that high ground, it is little wonder that the Himalaya has throughout history witnessed countless skirmishes between neighbouring states that sought such strategic advantage. The interest in this mountain range, of course, was not restricted to matters of defence. North-south trade routes criss-crossed the Himalayan range, connecting the Tibetan plateau to the rest of the Indian subcontinent, ensuring lucrative tax revenues for those who controlled these economic lifelines. In the era of European colonialism in the “long” 19th century, the Himalaya became embroiled in what has been called the “Great Game” between the British and Russian empires, who sought to expand their respective commercial and imperial interests in the region. Due to its pristine environment, awe-inspiring mountains, and the remoteness of its valleys, the Himalaya was also the well-spring of countless legends, myths and romantic imaginings, engendering the sacralisation of the landscape that had served as a source of religious inspiration for peoples living both in its vicinity and beyond. Hence, despite its remoteness — or because of it — warfare, pilgrimages, trade and the search for viable areas of settlement have been some of the key factors contributing to the migratory process and interest in the area. Largely because they lay in the frontier zone, enclaves of Tibetan settlements located deep in the numerous Himalayan valleys were often on the outer fringes of state influence, enjoying a significant degree of local autonomy until processes of state consolidation intensified in the last century or so, as exemplified by the case of Nepal.

  • Post-Rana Ties Between Nepali Royalty and National Park Staff
    Kings as Wardens and Wardens as Kings: Post-Rana Ties between Nepali Royalty and National Park Staff Nina Bhatt This article locates Nepali national park staff (game scouts, rangers and park wardens) in the context of their historical ties with monarchy. The pre-andolan (1951–90) accounts by park staff show how their individual and collective identities were shaped through encounters with royalty, which informed their everyday practices. The social relations, professional goals, and familial desires envisioned by government servants were linked to their perceived closeness with the Nepali kings and through specific events such as royal hunts. Historically, park staff have displayed particularly strong regard and allegiances for the royal family since Nepali kings sanctioned much of Nepal’s early conservation efforts and because monarchs espoused close ties with these officials in the setting up of national parks. I NTRODUCTION NATIONAL PARK STAFF in Nepal have traditionally viewed the Nepalese royal family in varied and often mutually conflicting ways.1 Royals were avid hunters, yet be- came selfless conservationists.2 Royals were the consumers of nature for private amusement, yet in quick succession they demarcated forested lands in the interest of public consumption and national good.3 For most game park staff, any en- counters with the royal family in the nature preserves are a source of inspiration fundamental to identity construction.4 The 1990 revolution (andolan) was a watershed in the relationship between royalty and rangers.5 During the pre-andolan period (1951–90),6 the royal family’s interest in nature and in the well-being of park bureaucrats (expressed by frequent personal visits) was crucial in shaping a largely positive world-view for government officials.

  • The Abolition of Monarchy and Constitution Making in Nepal
    THE KING VERSUS THE PEOPLE(BHANDARI) Article THE KING VERSUS THE PEOPLE: THE ABOLITION OF MONARCHY AND CONSTITUTION MAKING IN NEPAL Surendra BHANDARI Abstract The abolition of the institution of monarchy on May 28, 2008 marks a turning point in the political and constitutional history of Nepal. This saga of constitutional development exemplifies the systemic conflict between people’s’ aspirations for democracy and kings’ ambitions for unlimited power. With the abolition of the monarchy, the process of making a new constitution for the Republic of Nepal has started under the auspices of the Constituent Assembly of Nepal. This paper primarily examines the reasons or causes behind the abolition of monarchy in Nepal. It analyzes the three main reasons for the abolition of monarchy. First, it argues that frequent slights and attacks to constitutionalism by the Nepalese kings had brought the institution of the monarchy to its end. The continuous failures of the early democratic government and the Supreme Court of Nepal in bringing the monarchy within the constitutional framework emphatically weakened the fledgling democracy, but these failures eventually became fatal to the monarchical institution itself. Second, it analyzes the indirect but crucial role of India in the abolition of monarchy. Third, it explains the ten-year-long Maoist insurgency and how the people’s movement culminated with its final blow to the monarchy. Furthermore, this paper also analyzes why the peace and constitution writing process has yet to take concrete shape or make significant process, despite the abolition of the monarchy. Finally, it concludes by recapitulating the main arguments of the paper.
