Subject: Views about formation of federal states
Respected Sir,
I feel very proud to share with you that Nepal has successfully conducted the second election for the Constituent Assembly (CA). It has given chances for hopes of people. But, we feel bad that the CA of 2064 BS could not make a new constitution for Nepalese people. And, the new CA of 2070 may face similar problems in course of preparing it.
Sir, one of the causes the CA of 2064 could not draft constitution was 'issues on federalism'. It could not create consensus among the political parties regarding the bases of federalism. Some debated in favour of ethnicity and caste as the base and some other in geo-physical strength and population. I also think the state should be capable of its resources and ethnical specialty should not be the fact for governance. So, possible conflicts in the name of ethnic identity should be settled down in the constitution. So, the bases for federalism should be the resources availability or geo-physical strength.
Finally, I request you to take it into consideration. Thank you.
Yours,
S.C Acharya

Implementation of federal ruling system in Nepal is challenging regarding economic and social aspects. Write your view in four points clearly.
Implementation of Federal Ruling system in Nepal is challenging regarding economic and social aspects, because of the following points:
There is representation of different population because of which it can be very difficult to solve the problems; the representatives may not come to the agreement.
While implementing the plans and policies there can be conflicts because of not having social and political consensus.
The federal ruling system is very expensive ruling system, which is not suitable according to Nepalese economy.
There are chances of conflicts among and between the states because they have to depend upon common natural sources and infrastructures like road, communication, hydropower etc.
What is state restructure? Write in brief the major challenges faced in Nepal for it. Clarify in three points.
State restructure is the democratic concept or designing of the state again on the basis of available means and resources, bio-diversity, heritage and strength.
Any three challenges faced in Nepal for restructuring state are as follows:
Complex network of corruption
Obstacles created by public
Difficulty in dividing or distributing the means and resources.
Clarify with appropriate examples the drawback of development regions and strength of federal ruling system in any two points for each of them.
The concept of development region was introduced in Nepal in 2029 BS that briefly decentralized the works and power of unitary government in the centre. Similarly, in 2063, Nepal brought up the concept to execute federal ruling system in which a country is divided into certain provinces with a government in each.
The drawbacks of development region are:
Peace and order in the country may be affected due to dissatisfaction of people regarding their representation to the state activities.
Development activities may be delayed in conduction as it depends on procedural administration determined by the government.
The strengths of federal ruling system are:
It assures inclusiveness and equal participation of all communities, marginalized groups, indigenous tribes, Women, Dalit, Madheshi, Janajati, etc.
It encourages balanced and uniform development in the states distributing resources impartially and as per the aspiration of common people.
Why federal ruling system is called 'Restructure of the state' in reference of Nepal? Mention your four opinions.
Nepal was being governed according to unitary system. The movement of 2062/63 developed the concept of federal system of governance. There are several differences between the unitary and federal system of governance that is the reason why federal ruling system is called 'Restructure of the state.'
Following points shows us why federal ruling system is called 'Restructure of the state' in reference of Nepal :
From constitutional monetary, Nepal has been a Federal Democratic Republic country.
There was only a central government, but there will be state government too.
Federal ruling system is more inclusive and participatory than unitary as it focuses participation of all at state level.
System of governance and rights to people will be realized better, in comparison with unitary system of governance.
The federal system has various differences than unitary system. Most of the political and administrative practices are changed in Federal system than the existing unitary, so, it is called restructure of the state.
Explain in brief any four possible sectors where there is the control of only the central government in federal system.
The political system in a country which is divided into two administrative systems, i.e. between the central government and the constituent units, usually called states or provinces is called federation. Since the constituent units or states and the central government both make decision, we can say that power is decentralized. Federalism is the concept of self-rule and shared rule. Both the units have their own specific sectors to control; here are the four sectors in which there is control of only the central government in federal system:
Economic plans, policies and programs
Foreign policy and diplomatic relations
National security, border security
Representation of the nation in international forum
Federalism is more democratic and inclusive than unitary system of government. Justify the statement with four reasons.
It is true that federalism is more democratic and inclusive than unitary system of government. It is so because of the following reasons:
Federalism carries the concept of "decentralization of power" i.e. power is proportionally divided among the states.
The states in federal system are divided on the basis of geographical diversity and its unique culture, tradition or history. Thus, they carry each aspect with the principle of inclusiveness.
The means and resources can be utilized in optimum way in this system for materializing the concept of proportionate development in all parts of a country.
In federal system, people can form their own plans, policies and programs as per their need and will.
What is federal system? Write any four points of importance of it in the context of Nepal.
The term "federalism" is a system of government in which sovereignty is constitutionally divided between a central governing authority and constituent political units.In federal system of government, there are two governments: central government and state government. State government is formed in the state level which is autonomous in strengthening security in the state, running administration, carrying out development projects, making laws and policies and forming budget. Central government is formed in the central level which deals with border security, national, fiscal plan and policies, foreign and military affairs etc.
clarify with appropriate examples the drawbacks of development regions and strengths of federal ruling system in any two points each of them.
ANY TWO DRAWBACKS OF DEVELOPMENT REGIONS ARE: i) REJECTION OF PRIORITIES: Some areas have different priorities and regional plannings rejects priorities of every area at least some of the time. If smart growth policies are a priority in one place of development region and other requires relatively less attentive policies, then in case of development regions the two might receive completely opposite policies. ii)NO SUPPORT FOR GOVERNMENT AT TIME OF CRISIS Development regions are of no 'logistic" help whenever the government faces crisis. Development regions do not have their own sources of income and totally rely on government. SOME STRONG POINTS OF FEDERAL RULING SYSTEM ARE: i)REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT: True regional development actually comes from federalism as provincial government can work to utilize the resources of each area more effectively than development regions. Provincial governments can pay much more attention to each area . ii)GREAT SUPPORT FOR CENTRAL GOVERNMENT AT THE TIME OF CRISIS: In federalism, central government receives great support from provincial/state governments in times of natural or man-made crisis.
