First-look prototypePublic records are being prepared. Participation is a demonstration only.
About this preview

Independent thinking. Shared progress.

Understand power.
Follow the record.

An independent, nonpartisan think tank serving Nepal.

A clearer view of the people, institutions and policies shaping our country. Built around public evidence, open questions and accountability.

An emerging civic resource. A commitment to getting it right.

Our mission

Four commitments.
One Nepal.

Policy Nepal works to strengthen how Nepal is governed and how it grows. These four pillars guide everything we do.

01

Awareness

Make people aware.

Explain laws, policies and public decisions in plain Nepali and English, so everyone can make informed choices.

02

People

Bring people into policy-making.

Create fair, moderated spaces where citizens can question, debate and contribute directly to public policy.

03

Accountability

Hold public servants accountable.

Track what officials promise, decide and deliver, using public records and the same standards for everyone.

04

Progress

Put every Nepali mind to work for Nepal.

Connect talent at home and across the diaspora, champion innovation and technology, and help Nepal and its people compete and prosper in the world.

Independent. Nonpartisan. No party’s opponent.

We do not support or oppose any political party or candidate, and we are no one’s enemy. We apply the same evidence and standards to every party and public official, credit good work wherever it happens, and welcome everyone who wants Nepal to move forward.

01 / People & institutions

Public service,
in public view.

Who held office. What they did. Where the evidence leads. A connected record of national leadership, built one verified term at a time.

CURRENT INSTITUTIONS

House of Representatives

Verification pending

A trustworthy directory starts with verified records.

Member identities, terms, constituencies and committee roles will be reconciled against official records before appearing here. No current roster has been loaded into this prototype.

Visit the official member directory

A missing record means “not yet verified here,” not an absence of public service.

A RECORD WITH A LONG VIEW

Since 18 February 1990.

Our planned archive includes national parliamentarians, National Assembly members and ministers, including service already in progress on the start date. Each institution will be described in its own historical context.

02 / Awareness through policy & law

Read the policy.
Understand the choices.

Know your rights, understand public issues and make informed choices. Explore official sources by institution and subject, with law, proposals and analysis kept distinct.

6 official source linksSource guide · document-level review pending
01

CONSTITUTION · NATIONAL FRAMEWORK

Constitution of Nepal

The constitutional text hosted by the Nepal Law Commission. Check amendments and the authoritative language before relying on a provision.

ACT COLLECTION · LAW & JUSTICE

Acts & legislative collections

Browse the official collection as a research starting point. A listed document is not, by itself, proof of its latest legal status.

LEGAL LIBRARY · LAW & JUSTICE

Prevailing-law library

The ministry’s legal catalogue. Our future records will separately identify document type, amendments, commencement and source version.

RESPONSIBILITY FRAMEWORK · OFFICE OF THE PRIME MINISTER

Government work-allocation regulation

A source for understanding how government responsibilities are assigned. Ministry names and assignments will be checked for each period.

OFFICIAL PUBLICATION · GOVERNMENT PUBLISHING

Nepal Gazette collections

Official publication records for checking instruments and dates. Digitisation and migration gaps should not be mistaken for missing legal history.

NOTICES & CONSULTATIONS · LAW & JUSTICE

Ministry notices & public consultation

Visit the ministry for official notices and feedback channels. This prototype does not assert that any particular consultation is currently open.

Ministry of Law, Justice and Parliamentary Affairs
A CLEAR DISTINCTION

An Act is not a policy proposal. A party manifesto is not government law. Every future library entry will identify its type, issuer, dates and verification status.

Our source standards

03 / National questions

More context.
Better questions.

Understand the choices behind the headlines. Examine parties’ positions across several dimensions, using the same questions and evidence standards for everyone.

Research themes, not party rankings.
No positions have been assigned in this preview.

THE COMPARISON FRAMEWORKResearch in preparation

What creates opportunity
that people can share?

Compare the role of the state and markets, revenue and spending choices, and how benefits and costs are distributed. A single left–right label cannot tell the whole story.

01Role of government

Public provision, regulation and private enterprise

02Revenue & spending

Tax choices, investment priorities and funding

03Distribution & trade-offs

Who benefits, who bears costs and over what period

Compare separatelyStated commitmentsRecorded actionsObserved outcomes

04 / The civic forum

Room for informed
disagreement.

Public discussion deserves context, fair rules and space for different views. These proposed formats show what responsible participation could look like.

PUBLIC-INTEREST DEBATES

Different views.
The same questions.

Issue-led conversations with published eligibility, impartial moderation and equal rules. Recordings, transcripts and corrections should remain accessible.

Proposed format · no events announced

LEADERSHIP WATCH

Follow contributions.
Look beyond popularity.

A future window into emerging public leadership, selected through documented roles and policy contributions.

What qualifies someone for inclusion?

A documented public role or substantive policy contribution, supported by identifiable sources and reviewed under consistent published criteria. Inclusion will not be an endorsement.

What will a record show?

The reason for inclusion, dated work, source links, relevant responses, uncertainty and corrections. Private-life speculation and popularity leaderboards have no place here.

Who is featured now?

No people are featured in this prototype. Profiles require identity checks, editorial review and rights-cleared images before publication.

INTERACTION PREVIEW

A voice, with
the limits made clear.

Future visitor polls could invite people to assess an officeholder’s performance. A self-selected website poll does not represent Nepal’s population.

No live polling. No recorded votes. No approval scores.

SAMPLE QUESTION · NO REAL OFFICEHOLDER

How would you assess an officeholder’s performance?
Nothing is submitted or saved.

The standard behind the work

Trust is built
in the details.

For everyone in Nepal, across gender, caste, ethnicity, geography and economic background. Our proposed work begins with a simple responsibility: make it possible for readers to check us.

Go to the primary sources
01 Evidence you can follow

Official records lead for official acts. Every material claim should identify its source, date and verification status. Party material establishes what a party says; it does not independently establish performance.

02 Independence you can examine

The same publication standards apply to every party and officeholder. Funding, conflicts and editorial responsibility should be disclosed. This prototype makes no claim that nonprofit incorporation or operational governance has been completed.

03 Fairness when the record is disputed

An allegation, investigation, charge and judgment are different things. Consequential adverse coverage requires careful sourcing, relevant responses and the latest procedural outcome. Missing evidence is a limitation, not a finding.

04 Corrections that remain visible

Production records should retain a visible correction history and a right-of-reply process. No correction submission channel is active in this preview. Editorial ownership and an operating contact must be established before public launch.

05 Participation without hidden collection

This static prototype has no account system, analytics integration, comment submission, poll storage or personal-data form. Only your language preference is saved in this browser. Poll choices stay in the current page and are discarded when it reloads. Opening an external source is subject to that site’s own practices.

START WITH THE RECORD

Primary sources. Open questions.

These official sources are research starting points, not a claim of complete or up-to-date coverage.

Leadership record / layout preview

A profile built on evidence.

This is an unpopulated template. It does not represent a real or fictional officeholder and contains no claims about an individual.

VERIFIED IDENTITY

Name in Nepali & English

Photograph only when reuse rights are established.

Terms of office
Institution, role, constituency or selection route, start and end dates, and appointment source.
Party affiliation
Dated affiliations, with later changes recorded separately.
Public work
Recorded bills, questions, committee work, speeches and votes, with links to the underlying evidence.
Public-interest record
Proportionate, sourced coverage with responses and procedural outcomes. No unsupported allegations.
Verification
Source-by-source check dates, uncertainties and a visible correction history.

Archive / coverage plan

Build the record. Show the gaps.

The planned working boundary is 18 February 1990 onward. This is an event-date boundary, not the beginning of the entire year 2046 BS. Records of terms already in progress on that date belong in scope.

  1. Establish the current record.

    Reconcile identity, office, constituency, terms and committee roles against authoritative sources.

  2. Expand period by period.

    Account for historical institutions, interim legislatures and Constituent Assemblies exercising legislative functions. Preserve original BS dates, checked AD equivalents and date precision.

  3. Publish coverage honestly.

    Record missing sources, unresolved identities and the date of each check. Claim completeness only after reconciling every institution and term.

Prototype status: no current or historical person-level roster has been loaded. Provincial and local officeholders are outside this initial national scope.

Political positions / research method

Same questions. Several dimensions.

Each party’s stated position will need a dated, attributed source. Comparisons will separate manifesto commitments, legislative evidence, government action and editorial interpretation.

No real party positions, scores, endorsements or voter recommendations are published in this prototype.

Civic forum / proposed format

A fair stage for serious questions.

BEFORE

Publish the ground rules.

Clear eligibility, topic selection, sponsor disclosures and consistent invitation criteria.

DURING

Make time and scrutiny equal.

Impartial moderators, equivalent questions, consistent time limits and transparent fact-checking standards.

AFTER

Leave an accessible record.

Recordings or transcripts, source links, relevant corrections and an opportunity to clarify disputed claims.

No debate is scheduled. Election-period rules, invitations, permissions and production arrangements require separate review before an event can be announced.

Civic forum / discussion preview

Bring a source. Make a point.

Planned policy discussion will stay attached to the precise document version or provision being discussed.

Commenting is not enabled, and no message or personal information can be submitted in this prototype. Use the relevant ministry’s official channel for an actual consultation.

Editorial accountability

The record must be correctable.

Before a public launch, Policy Nepal needs an operating correction channel, named editorial responsibility and a right-of-reply process.

No corrections inbox or submission form is active in this preview. This section describes the intended process; it does not imply that an operational review team is already in place.
