Federalism in Nepal
In the aftermath of the return of democracy to Nepal in the late 2000 s and the abolition of the monarchy, regional decentralization and federalism has become a contentious topic of political debate at the national level.
Most Maoist parties in the Constituent Assembly advocate for the extension of federalism on both an ethnic and administrative basis, while the Rastriya Janamorcha, a minority party in the Constituent Assembly, has come out in open opposition to the prospect of federalism.
The federal system of government is a type of government where the government is divided into states with autonomous power. Nepal will be divided into three government_ 1} federal/central government 2} state government and 3} local government. The division of power between the federal and the state government is determined according to the clauses mentioned in the constitution.
The central/federal government is responsible for the security of the border,foreign affairs, army, nation's economy,etc. on the other side, the state government is responsible for the state's internal security, daily administration, to preserve local arts and culture,to operate state level projects and so on.

This system hasn't been able to achieve the aimed objectives and rapid development in the country. It has been unable to address the will and aspiration of the Nepalese people. Nepal is a hub culture society. People of various languages, ethnic groups, cultures, and traditions are the resident of Nepal. Their practices, traditions, cultures and languages are in the verge of extinction. So, federalism has been felt the only solution for their preservation and protections.inorder to develop every nook an corner of a country federalism is necessary in context of nepal
