Civil Service - in a state of collapse

The nation’s civil service is heavily criticized for being heavily politicized, leading to a decline in its efficiency, accountability, and ethical standards. This politicization involves in various ways: the dominance of political considerations in recruitment, promotion, and transfer of civil servants undermining the merit-based systems among others.

Political connections and affiliations seem to be playing a significant role in the selection and advancement of civil servants, rather than merit and qualifications. This has invited a perception of unfairness and resentment among civil servants, impacting their motivation and morale.

The heavily politicization of the civil service has undermined the principle of meritocracy, where promotions and appointments are based on competence and performance. This has resulted in less qualified individuals holding key positions, leading to poor service delivery and a decline in public trust and fostered a culture of corruption and unethical practices. This has heavily hindered the effective functioning of government and impeded the implementation of policies. As a result, it has created lack of trust in the government thus undermining the democratic processes.

Experts and civil society organizations have long advocated for civil service reforms to address the issues of politicization and improve the overall performance of the civil service. These reforms include strengthening merit-based systems, promoting ethical conduct, enhancing accountability mechanisms, and clarifying the roles and responsibilities of civil servants at all levels of government.

This VDO has been able to open up the ongoing the pathetic situation of the sincere civil servant who is trying to perform his duties with high moral and dignity.

Mid-term election and referendum simultaneously

Mid-term election and referendum simultaneously The people are tired of politicians who make wonderful promises but have miserably failed to fulfill their rosy promises. As a result, they seem to be gradually losing their credibility by days. However, having said that, the level of political awareness among the majority number of the people is still low which has been the advantage for the politicians to lure them towards their irresponsible and dirty politics. In the recent past weeks, we saw thousands of innocent people out in the streets to cheer up the so-called senior leaders who have miserably failed to lead the nation. We can see now the senior leaders and their parties are busy in forming another coalition government following the Supreme Court’s decision to nullify the unification of NCP a few days ago thus splitting the CPN-UML and CPN-Maoist. It was, in fact, a huge legal blow to them. This situation has created another political chaos in the country which might in...

A Legend Falls: Remembering Mountaineering Icon Nirmal Purja

The mountaineering world has lost one of its brightest, most unstoppable lights. It is with a profoundly heavy heart that I wish to express my profound grief over the tragic passing of Nirmal “Nimsdai” Purja, who lost his life alongside his brave crew in a devastating avalanche on Broad Peak, Pakistan. To say Nimsdai was a legend is an understatement. He was a force of nature who redefined the absolute limits of human endurance and capability. From shattering world records by climbing all 14 of the world’s highest peaks in just six months, to leading the historic first winter ascent of K2, he showed the world that "nothing is impossible." More importantly, he brought long-overdue pride, global recognition, and respect to the Nepali climbing and Sherpa community. Nims now rests eternally among the giant peaks he loved and conquered so fiercely. His fearless spirit, boundless energy, and ultimate motto—"Giving up is not in the blood"—will live on forever in the h...
