After the re-installation of democracy in Nepal, PSC also is expected to go hand in hand with the democratic norms of modern public administration. In the multi party system, bureaucracy has been termed as permanent government, because of its neutral character and functioning. Needless to say, the true meaning and the concept of neutrality is better understood by PSC with its constitutional status, than by the government representig political party. Upholding the merit system in the bureaucracy and adopting inclusive policy in the Civil Service are two main challenges facing the government. Striking a nice balance between the merit system and the representative bureaucracy is a stimulating task that PSC had better begin. The author seems to contend that PSC has to come forward as a custodian of meritocracy in the public personnel administration of Nepal in order to maintain the non-partisan character of the bureaucracy by creating an environment where the grievances of civil personnel are well addressed. - Reproduced.  aCivil service - Nepal  aCivil service  aAdministration and Management Review  a64776  c64776d64776  00104070aIIPAbIIPAd2018-07-19hVolume no: 17, Issue no: 1pAR65228r2018-07-19w2018-07-19yAR
