Abstract
The government is almost the sole of services in the rural sectors of developing
countries. People centered development culture has not yet been institutionalized
in Nepal. In the academic discourse the decentralization has come to be regarded
as the best way of integrating local people in the web of development.
Development practitioners, however, see decentralization as a necessary but not a
sufficient condition for involving cross section of local people into development
intervention. Because of the elite domination, the power mass, the poor and the
marginalized and successfully block their meaningful integration in local
government in Nepal.
The local government have to shoulder the increasing responsibility for the
provision of public goods and services and the management of public goods and
services and the management of public money in order to fulfill the responsibility
effectively and properly, local government bodies must maintain fiscal discipline
i.e. the ability to spend tax paid money and local resources effectively and in
accordance with national and local micro economic objectives and targets.
Present study is an endeavor to have a fresh look at the local governance status
through assenting the level of people’s participation in developing process. The
study also explores the actors and factors shaping participation as well as causes
for non participation in Land pooling process in Nepal. For the purpose of the

respondents from among the community members have been interviewed through a
