The government led by Prime Minister Balen Shah has completed its first 100 days in office, claiming significant achievements in governance reform, public service delivery, and financial discipline under its vision of making this the "Foundation Year of Good Governance."
According to the government's 100-day progress report, it has reduced the number of ministries from 22 to 18, abolished 31 unnecessary boards and committees, and seized 672 government vehicles that were allegedly being used in violation of regulations. It also took action against 400 university professors who failed to return from study leave, recovering more than NPR 132.6 million in revenue.
The government has expanded doorstep delivery of citizenship certificates and passports to 75 districts through the postal service while strengthening the Nagarik App, allowing citizens to download driving licenses, PAN cards, and police clearance certificates digitally. Processes for mortgage registration and release have also been fully digitized.
On the anti-corruption front, the government has launched investigations into the assets of senior public officials dating back to 2005–06 (2062/63 B.S.). Authorities have filed cases against 101 individuals, claiming losses worth NPR 114 billion under money laundering and related investigations. High-profile cases, including the Ncell share transaction and the Bal Mandir land scam, are also under investigation.
The report further states that the government has prepared a digital database of more than 1.2 million landless settlers' applications and has begun distributing land ownership certificates in Bardiya. It has allocated NPR 250 million to compensate victims of cooperative fraud, helping more than 1,750 small depositors recover their savings. Nearly NPR 1.52 billion in subsidies for sugarcane farmers is also in the final stage of being transferred to beneficiaries.
In foreign affairs, the government says it has introduced an open, merit-based ambassador appointment process for the first time in Nepal's history. It has rescued 1,047 Nepali citizens from difficult situations abroad and secured pardons for 161 Nepalis imprisoned in Saudi Arabia and the UAE.
The government also reported progress in infrastructure and energy, reviewing 578 stalled contracts to either revive or terminate them, while adding 138 megawatts of electricity to the national grid and increasing electricity exports.
