Provinces of Nepal
Nepal is more than Kathmandu. The provinces are where regional identity, services, culture, and development have to meet. This page gives each province a place in the national story.
Overview
How the provinces fit into Nepal

02
Governance
Provincial governments exist to bring decisions closer to citizens.

Development

Why it matters
Why a province page belongs in a national site
A better nation story is not built only from national symbols. It is built by showing each region how it matters, what it contributes, and what it needs.
Regional dignityWhen provinces are visible, citizens can see themselves in the nation instead of feeling like the center decides everything.
