Panchayat era (1960–1990)

[edit]

In 1962, the traditional 32 districts were dissolved and Nepal was divided into 14 zones and 75 development Districts.[5]

In 1975, most districts underwent major boundary changes that shaped Nepal’s present-day districts. Large number of Village Panchayats were shifted across 58 districts. The most significant change was the merger of the former Tibrikot District into Jumla District and the creation of new district Kalikot, carved out of western Jumla. Bhojpur District was moved from Sagarmatha Zone to Koshi Zone, Parbat District from Gandaki Zone to Dhaulagiri Zone, and Dolpa District from Dhaulagiri Zone to Karnali Zone. Despite these changes, the total number of districts remained at 75.[6][7]

District Panchayat was the district level governing body during the Panchayat System (1962–1990).
