To achieve this type of civilization human faced different kinds of problems, this always give new idea of solution such a result making the opportunity to invent new equipment for their utilization, we may take people’s participation consider one of mile stone towards community development. What ever the geographical location, cultural and historical stage of development of asociety, basic necessity of life, self respect and freedom are at least three basic elements whichare considered to continue the ‘true’ meaning of rural development.The universally acceptedconcept applied to national development programs, particularly on developing countriesfocusing on the primary needs through community development. The main objectivity of thecommunity development program is to build up society through improving educational standard, providing balance and hygienic food, pure drinking water, increasing political awareness, making access towards communication, technology, transportation etc, are improving the quality of local life. People’s participation simply meaning to willing and voluntary participation by all class/or group of population. It have common and cooperative venture. It may have spontaneous or induced but certainly not ‘coerced’. Most commonly people participation holding relatively debatable on any subject. This debate makes to all participate to give all individual view, the synergic form of decision will be considered most applicable and efficiency.The most important factors i.e. equal sharing profit or losses of any event often pursuit all people participate equally on public concern subject. Here, common people are not of tenconsulting in the planning or program formulation and fixing of priorities. Due to these factors now a day the basic concept of people participation confined only in term of physical donation it means, a innocent and seldom person often involves on voluntary labor contribution tot he rural construction works that mostly beneficial to rural life. Theory of participation, to start with, has at least two dimensional i.e. participation in political dimension and participation in socio-economic dimension. This theory regards ademocratic government as the identically best policy that can nourish popular participation institution. To make participatory process self-sustain, there is yet another equal important aspect which is the existence of the representative institutions but this is at the national levelalone is not sufficient for participation democracy, The formal such institution at a local levelalso most importance. A question may arisen under-development countries likes Nepal what is the basic rootofdevelopment? To answering such questions one should not forget the rural life of such countries, though the definition of development may vary as per required of public concern and v geographical location, but no one disagree to until and unless increasing people’s participation level the aim of development never successes developing countries Nepal.
