Ministry of General Administration
is an agency of Government of Nepal to regulate & manage the civil service as prescribed governments rules
and regulations. To make the civil service more competent, responsible,
motivated, transparent and service oriented, this ministry has
been implementing the various structural & institutional
reform programs continuously to activate the government human
resource effectively and efficiently. Basically Ministry of
General Administration is working as a central personnel agency
to establish & develop the administration system more competent
as well as functioning to coordinate and assist to the other
ministries, which are operating the concerned employees of concerned
services.
The Interim Constitution of Nepal, 2063, Civil Service
Act, 1992 and Civil Service Regulation, 1993 are the fundamental
rules and regulation for governing the employees and to discharge
the duties. There is only one departmental level office called
Nijamati Kitabkhana (Department of Civil Personnel Records)
is working as a central hub record-keeping unit and pension
book issuing agency of the whole civil servants as prescribed
by government. To increase the capacity and efficiency of employees
in time-to-time various training has been conducting through
Nepal Administrative Staff College, which is a government autonomous
organization. NASC is sole authority for local training to the
government staff as well as to other agencies.
The Ministry is directly related with the public service commission
which is responsible to recommend the appropriate process according
to law. As a central personnel agency, the ministry should consult
and coordinate with Public Service Commission for the policy
decision making process and Public Service Commission should
provide the recommendation and permission of the terms and condition
related to civil service, security of the service, departmental
action, service and group change and matter relating to promotion.
Except the jurisdiction of Public Service Commission MOGA shall
audit the management of the Government Offices and submit the report
to the Government of Nepal. On the management audit process,
MOGA can check, monitor and evaluate the whole condition, whether
the administrative rules and regulation is properly implemented
or in the auditing process if it is needed to recommend the
departmental action to any employees, It can too discharge its
duties as prescribed by Civil Service Act as well as regulations.
After the promulgation of this new concept of management audit,
MOGA jurisdiction has expanded to cope with the challenges.
So many up and down is beared by the Nepalese Administrative
History. The Ministry in its present form was established in
1981. Actually it is the outcome of frequent changes in the
process of institutionalization of functions related to the
development of administrative system in the country. Upto 1956,
the then Ministry of State Affairs was responsible for the central
administration of government, which was heavily concentrated
on personnel administration. In 1957 the personnel administrative
functions were transferred to the ministry of Home Affairs,
and in the same year in line with the recommendation of the
Administrative Reorganization Planning Commission, an organization
and method section was created in the Ministry of Finance so
as to initiate administrative reform measures. Again in 1958,
Administrative Training Center as established as a separate
institution to develop human resources. Consequently, in 1968
a separate department of Administrative management was established
and made responsible for personnel administration, administrative
reforms and training. These all scattered functions related
to administrative development were brought together. Under one
single umbrella. Although it was department by name, the status
was equal to that of a Ministry. Permanent secretary under the
portfolio of a Minister headed it. In 1981, the then Department
of Administrative Management was converted into Ministry of
General Administration. Which is situated in Singhadurbar, Kathmandu, Nepal.
