Civil Service
The Civil Service of Nepal shall be operated on the basis of merit, competitiveness, and inclusion. Civil servants shall be politically neutral and serve the government of the day faithfully.
Nepal\'s civil servants — the permanent government employees who run ministries, hospitals, schools, and offices — must be hired on merit (through Loksewa exams), remain politically neutral, and serve whichever government is in power. No political affiliation required. This creates a stable administrative backbone that survives government changes.
निजामती सेवा — योग्यता, प्रतिस्पर्धा र समावेशिताको आधारमा। राजनीतिक तटस्थता अनिवार्य।
Merit-based civil service ensures government functions regardless of political changes.
In practice, political transfers and promotions undermine civil service neutrality.
