National Responsibilities Of Citizens

The national code of duties of each Nepali citizen defined in the constitution spells: to safeguard the nationality, sovereignty and integrity of Nepal, become loyal to the nation, abide by the constitution and law, render compulsory service as and when the state needs and protect and preserve public property. Awareness about these duties infuses patriotic sentiment, harnesses social connection of people, their affection and emotional feelings thus developing a psychological sense of being anchored in a healthy, livable political community, the state. Nepalis, endowed with 31 constitutional rights, are responsible for keeping these core responsibilities, propping up public good such as paying taxes honestly, participating in elections, taking accountability for one’s own action in the community, showing kindness for co-citizens and undertaking constructive roles in nation building.
