Answer:

Federalism refers to the system of government in which power is divided between a central authority and constituent political units. In federalism a nation has a dual government system i.e. federal government at central level and at state level. The federal government has the power to enlarge diplomatic territorial integrity, run a national project, make national monetary policy and so on. The state government has the power to make federal laws, maintain law and order in the state

Nepal is a country with geographical diversity. Nepal has been practicing unitary form of government since unification by, Prithvi Narayan Shah. However, this system was not able to achieve the development goals of the country and has been an "exclusive form of rule." Federalism is seen as an in inclusive practice for Nepal. So, with the view of proportional development in all the parts of the country by appropriate distribution and mobilization of resources and reducing the economic, social and religious discrimination, the country has transformed into a federal structure.

Nepal has become a federal democratic republican state since 15th Jestha, 2065 BS. According to the concept of a federal system, Nepal has been divided into 7 provinces, 77 districts and 753 local levels. Now each province has a separate government along with its federal government at the centre.
