Equal distribution of the available means and resources to all the sates is challenging. Nepal is a country of cultural diversity.in this regard,it is difficult to democrate a state on the basis of socio-cultural aspects.

Difference between federal and state government  : federal government:                         1.Responsible for national security system 2. Formulates national policies and programme for development and launched them through out the country. 3. Makes financial provision or national monitoring policies at central level. 4. Takes over the responsibility of any federal units during the crisis or emergency 5. Represents the nation at regional and international forums and concern with the foreign policy.    state government:                                                           Responsible for internal law and order and security system 2. Makes necessary plan policies and programme for the development work inside the state. 3. Generates revenues locally within the state for the state expenditure. 4. Caries out day to day administration within the state. 5. Caries out the public welfare service like health, education, transportation,communication etc.
