Bureaucratic System: Principles and Practice in Nepal

Abstract

Purpose: The goal of this study is to examine and comprehend the composition, operation, and difficulties of Nepal's bureaucratic system. The overall goal of this topic is to provide a thorough understanding of Nepalese bureaucracy's workings and suggest methods for improving its efficiency in carrying out public policies and serving the public interest.

Research Design: The research design employed in this study combines both exploratory and descriptive methods.

Findings: This study has attempted to determine the history, function, and structure of bureaucracy at various points in time. In addition, it has made an effort to investigate the causes of bureaucracy's success in several states, including Nepal. Additionally, it has made an effort to define the benefits and drawbacks of bureaucracy for all nations worldwide. Different nations may have different bureaucracies in terms of their types and nature. Though some still use caste- or patronage-based bureaucracies, most democratic countries have bureaucracies that are based on merit. For example, the President and Prime Minister of the United States and the United Kingdom, respectively, still appoint officials by patronage.

Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: In order to translate governmental goals and policies into practical reality, bureaucrats are essential. They facilitate societal transformation by acting as change agents, implementing government policies, supplying crucial information, and acting as clandestine policymakers. Red tape, delays, and corruption are commonplace in Nepali politics and administration. The public's outcry over corruption has not seemed to worry the government much.
