Social Modernisation And Party Transformation

Nepali society is undergoing a deep structural change. It is a change caused by multi-channel communication, multi-mode of learning and education, occupational shifts from agriculture and industries to service sectors, migration from rural to urban areas and abroad and technological revolution. This change is breaking the joint family system and cultural values and turning its duty-based society to rights-based, faith to reason and social stability to social mobility in search of improved prospects. Its impact is much deeper as Nepali society is shifting from hereditary to contractual ties with most institutions -- family, community, society and the state.
