Nepal's civil service was formalized and brought under the legal framework following the enactment of civil service Act 1956. During those days many advisor engaged in developing Nepalese civil service system were from India. They,however did not make any suggestions to introduce reservation system in Nepal's civil Service as they had done in their own country. Despite the adoption of some measures to strengthen civil service in the past, inclusion was never considered until the restoration of democracy in 1990. The democratic constitution visualized the importance of inclusion of excluded and weaker section of the society in mainstream politics, national institutions and development endeavor. In the meantime, a high level reservations committee was constituted under the chairperson-ship of the then Finance Minister in December 2004, to prepare a report and make recommendations for the adoption of affirmative action for the inclusive development of women, Dalits and AdibasiJanajatis. The prevalent political instability and frequent changes in the government, however, did not allow this committee to accomplish its task. Failure in translating political commitments and constitutional provisions into actions through legal means was never realized until the Comprehensive Peace Accord (CPA) was signed and a new Interim constitution was promulgated. The Interim Constitution of Nepal, 2063 (2007) initiated the transformation process in social, political and administrative spheres. The formation of the Constituent Assembly (CA) and the second amendment to the Civil Service Act were some of the exemplary initiatives of the state aimed at ensuring inclusion in political representation and civil service.
