The headline commitments, by theme
The most significant, publicly detailed measures from the 100-point roadmap. Deadlines are the government's own; the status is indicative, as reported.
Governance & the machinery of state
Rewiring how the government works — fewer ministries, depoliticised staff, and a 'deliver or explain' culture.
Delivery-based governance
Every ministry must set out its 10 priority jobs with deadlines, a named responsible officer and performance indicators, reporting progress to the PM's Office.
Cut ministries to 17
Reduce the number of federal ministries and stand up a Restructuring & Management Secretariat under the PM's Office to manage the transition.
Depoliticise the civil service
Abolish party-affiliated trade unions in government bodies and bar civil servants, teachers and professors from direct or indirect party affiliation.
Simplify service delivery (BPR)
Apply Business Process Re-engineering to cut red tape and limit approvals to a maximum of three layers.
Federal Civil Service Bill
Draft the long-pending Federal Civil Service Bill to modernise the bureaucracy.
Anti-corruption & accountability
Going after illicit wealth and acting on the inquiry reports that previous governments shelved.
Asset investigation committee
Form an empowered committee — with law, finance, revenue and research experts under the PM's Office — to probe the assets of leaders and senior officials, including wealth amassed over past decades.
Act on past inquiry reports
Implement the recommendations of previous corruption and inquiry reports through legal and administrative action.
A National Commitment
Synthesise the implementable promises from every party's manifesto into a single, accountable National Commitment linked to budgets and reforms.
Justice for the Gen Z movement
Answering for the September 2025 deaths, and rehabilitating the families left behind.
High-level inquiry into 9 September
Form a high-level committee to gather evidence on the September 9 incidents, identify those responsible and report within a fixed timeline.
Accountability for the violence
Acting on a commission led by former Special Court chair Gauri Bahadur Karki, former PM KP Sharma Oli and former Home Minister Ramesh Lekhak are arrested.
Rehabilitation package
Deliver employment, skills training and psychosocial counselling for those affected, and recognition for the families of those killed.
Acknowledge historical injustice
Officially recognise historical injustices and discrimination against marginalised communities.
Constitution & electoral reform
Opening a structured debate on changing how Nepal votes and is governed.
Constitution-amendment discussion paper
Prepare a discussion paper to guide a participatory, evidence-based national debate on electoral and constitutional reform.
Digital government & services
Making the state come to the citizen, not the other way round.
‘Ask Once’ data policy
Government systems auto-fill a citizen's details from their ID number, so people never have to submit the same document twice.
Government Courier Service
Turn the postal network into a doorstep delivery service for passports, citizenship certificates and driving licences.
Everyday life
Visible, practical wins people can feel in the first hundred days.
Free ‘Blue Bus’ for women
Launch free Blue Bus services for women across all seven provinces, with at least 25 buses to begin.
Free hospital beds enforced
Strictly enforce the rule that 10% of beds in public and private hospitals are free for poor, helpless and abandoned patients.
Education
Less stress for students, more reliability from institutions.
Results on a fixed calendar
Universities must publish examination results on a fixed academic calendar set by the Ministry of Education.
Study without a citizenship card
Allow bachelor's-level study without requiring a citizenship certificate up front.
End early-grade exams
Discontinue formal internal examinations up to Grade 5 and bring in gentler assessment to cut needless stress.

The 100-point plan, answered
What is Nepal's 100-point action plan?+
It is the roadmap for 'delivery-based governance' adopted by the new government led by Prime Minister Balen Shah and the Rastriya Swatantra Party. Endorsed at the cabinet's first meeting and made public on 29 March 2026, the ~20-page document sets out 100 commitments — from cutting ministries and fighting corruption to justice for the September 2025 protest victims — many with deadlines of 7 to 100 days.
Who is Nepal's Prime Minister in 2026?+
Balendra 'Balen' Shah, the engineer and rapper who was mayor of Kathmandu, became Prime Minister on 27 March 2026 after the Rastriya Swatantra Party won a near two-thirds majority in the 5 March 2026 election. At 36 he is among the youngest serving heads of government in the world.
What happened in the September 2025 Gen Z protests?+
In September 2025, youth-led protests against corruption and a social-media ban swept Nepal. The violence around 9 September left many dead and brought down the KP Sharma Oli government, triggering the transition that led to the March 2026 election. The new government's plan includes a high-level inquiry into the September 9 incidents and a rehabilitation package for those affected.
How much of the 100-point plan has been done?+
Per the independent Pratipakchya tracker, of the 100 points around 29 are completed, 66 in progress, 4 delayed and 1 not yet started (as of mid-2026). The same tracker separately monitors the RSP's 250-point election manifesto.
What is the Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP)?+
The Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP, रास्वपा) is a centrist, anti-establishment party founded in 2022. After the 2026 election it became Nepal's largest party and now leads the government, having campaigned on a '100 decisions in 100 days' model of governance.
