Folder Restructure — by Nepal Studies — last modified Dec 30, 2008 03:43 PM
The transformation of old Nepal into new Nepal includes a proposed geographic restructure with about 800 new local districts each comprising from 3 to 15 of the 4000 old VDCs and 60 old municipalities, replacing the present 927 administrative areas within 75 centralized districts. The local district HQs are intended to develop into modern urbanized central places with information centers connected to global society. Above these directly elected local governments there will be Kirant, Kochila, Limbuan and Himali (Sherpa) autonomous states under the Koshi Development Council. Similarly, Tamsaling, Newa and Tamuwan autonomous state will be under the Gandaki Development Council. The autonomous states: Magarat, Khasan (Bheri-Karnali), Doti (Seti-Mahakali) and Tharuwan will be under the Karnali Development Council. Avadh autonomous state, Bhojpura and Mithila will be under the Terai/Madhesh Development Council.
