Jun 16 2026, Tuesday

KATHMANDU, Nepal — Nepal’s President Ram Chandra Poudel has highly commended the Public Service Commission (Lok Sewa Aayog) for maintaining its unwavering commitment to fairness and meritocracy, stating that the immense trust placed in the institution by ordinary citizens remains its single greatest asset.

Speaking at a special ceremony held at the President's Official Residence, Shital Niwas, to mark the historic 76th anniversary of the constitutional body, President Poudel emphasized that the commission has successfully served as a shining beacon of integrity throughout Nepal’s evolving democratic journey.

Upholding Meritocracy Against Systemic Challenges

President Poudel pointed out that the commission's strict adherence to selecting civil servants purely based on objective competence, transparency, and fairness has prevented nepotism from taking root within the administrative framework.

"The Public Service Commission has consistently adopted the core values of capability and impartiality in its civil service examinations," President Poudel stated, addressing a distinguished gathering of state officials, including the Commission’s Chairperson, Madhav Prasad Regmi. "Because it has never compromised on these foundational ideals, the common citizen's faith in the system has multiplied over the decades."

The President also highlighted how the commission's clean track record has inspired hope among the nation’s ambitious youth. In an era where deep structural reforms are required across various public sectors, the Lok Sewa Aayog stands out as an administrative apparatus that rewards pure talent and hard work, regardless of an applicant’s socio-economic background or political connections.

Adapting to the Federal Structure and Technological Demands

As the nation continues its transition under the federal model established by the 2015 Constitution, the responsibilities of the central authority have expanded significantly. President Poudel urged the leadership to continue guiding and building the capacities of the newly established Provincial Public Service Commissions to ensure the same high standards of neutrality are maintained at the local government level.

Furthermore, the President underscored the urgent necessity for structural modernization within the institution. He encouraged the commission to aggressively adopt modern information technology tools, update its examination curricula to reflect global governance standards, and streamline the administrative hiring process to meet the challenges of 21st-century public service.

A Legacy of Fairness: Established on June 15, 1951 (Asar 1, 2008 BS), the Public Service Commission remains one of Nepal’s oldest and most respected constitutional bodies, tasked with conducting free and fair recruitment drives for the civil service, military, and various state-owned enterprises.

In his concluding remarks, President Poudel expressed deep confidence that the commission would continue to safeguard its spotless reputation in the future, providing the state with competent, inclusive, and highly dedicated human resources to effectively drive Nepal's national development and prosperous future.
