Need To Reform Nepali Bureaucracy

Nepal has practised democratic polity for several decades now where politics and bureaucracy are assumed to exercise their differentiated roles and authority. Politicians are assumed to make policies and set legislative agenda whereas administrative personnel are employed for implementation of the policies and development. Civil servants are generally subordinate to politicians and they are expected to be pliant, compatible and non-resistant to the political executives and ministers. Furthermore, bureaucracy is often humbled at the hand of ministers and political masters. Bureaucracy also behaves and acts in such a way as to make itself liable to be castigated as responsible for failure of government policies and programmes.
