लोक सेवा आयोग
💡Highlight any phrase below and we'll explain what it means.
Original Text
There shall be a PSC consisting of a Chairperson and four Members. Appointments based on merit through open competitive examination. At least 50% from persons with 20+ years government experience.
💡 Plain Language Explanation
The PSC runs the Loksewa exams - Nepal's competitive civil service examinations. Millions of Nepali youth attempt Loksewa annually. It ensures civil servants are hired on merit, not political connections. The PSC is politically neutral - members cannot be party members.
🇳🇵 नेपाली व्याख्या
लोक सेवा आयोग प्रतियोगितात्मक परीक्षाद्वारा सरकारी कर्मचारी नियुक्ति गर्छ। राजनीतिक हस्तक्षेप निषेध।
✅ Good Aspects
Merit-based civil service critical for professional governance.
⚠️ Concerns
Loksewa pass rate below 1% - millions waste years preparing. System favors rote memorization.
