Unlock Madhes's Potential

With the promulgation of a new constitution in 2015, Nepal has embraced a federal democratic republic in place of a monarchical and unitary system. Around a decade has elapsed since the country was restructured into federal governance. Federalism is the more refined form of decentralisation. Due to the diverse topography and ethnicities, federal administration better suits our realities. Fair distribution of resources, powers, rights and opportunities lie at the heart of federal arrangement that is also expensive owing to the expanded networks of civil servants and elected officials. It is widely believed that federalism ensures identity, dignity and recognition of the citizens, especially of those living on the economic and social margins.
