Functional Federalism Brings Balanced Development 

When Nepal became a federal democratic republic with the promulgation of a new constitution in 2015, people greeted the new dispensation by gathering in the streets and organising various celebratory activities. This marked an epochal change in the political history of the country. Its transformation into a federal, secular, and republican state brought cheers to the diverse sections of the population. However, more than eight years have passed since the nation embarked on the federal path, but the people’s expectations for a happy, prosperous, and decent life are yet to be fully realised.
