Village development committee (Nepal)
In doing so, the village development committee gives the village people an element of control and responsibility in development, and also ensures proper utilization, distribution of state funds and a greater interaction between government officials, NGOs and agencies.The village development committees within a given area discuss education, water supply, basic health, sanitation and income and also monitor and record progress which is displayed in census data.[4] The village development committee structure was dissolved on 10 March 2017 to be replaced by gaunpalika.[5] Previously, the Panchayat was dissolved and turned into village development committees by the constitution of Nepal in 1990.Previous village development committees were either merged with existing municipalities or combined to create a new rural council.
