palakot wodapalika (पालाकोट वडापालिका)

A village Rural Municipality committee (RM) (Template:Lang-ne) in Nepal was the lower administrative part of its Ministry of Federal Affairs and Local Development. Each district had several VDCs, similar to municipalities but with greater public-government interaction and administration. There are currently 3,157 village development committees in Nepal.[1][2] Each VDC was further divided into several wards (Template:Lang-ne) depending on the population of the district; the average being nine wards.

Purpose

The purposes of a Municipality are:

  • to organize village people structurally at a local level
  • to create a partnership between the community and the public sector for element of control and responsibility in development
  • to ensure proper use and distribution of state funds
  • to ensure a greater interaction between government officials, NGOs and agencies[3]

Organization

In a VDC, there is one elected chief, usually elected with over an 80% majority.[3] From each ward, a chief is elected. With these, there are four members elected or nominated.To keep data and records, and to manage administrative works, there is one village secretary. The position is appointed by the government permanently, from whom they receive a salary. The ward members, ward chief, and VDC chiefs are not paid a salary, but they obtain money according to presence.[clarification needed]VDC is guided from the district development committee, headquarters, and the chief of DDC is a local development officer (LDO).Population and housing details of VDCs in Nepal are provided by the National Population and Housing Census, in 1991, 2001 and 2011.[4]

Dissolution of VDC

The Village Development Committee (VDC) was dissolved on March 10, 2017 to be replaced by Gaunpalika.[5] Previously, panchayat was dissolved and turned into VDC by the Constitution of Nepal 1990.
