What does it really mean to have a limited government?

In the 29th edition of Sambaad@Samriddhi, economic analyst Mr. Murahari Parajuli explains that simply reducing the number of ministers does not necessarily make government smaller. If the government’s roles and responsibilities remain the same, the same work still needs to be done. Limiting government requires looking at the scope of its role, not just the size of the group carrying it out.

The 31st edition of Sambaad@Samriddhi featured Er. Sneha Bhatta, DRR Practitioner and Researcher, as the guest speaker.

The discussion focused on Nepal’s growing disaster risks and the urgent need to move beyond reacting to disasters toward preparedness and risk reduction. It explored how early warning systems, climate adaptation, climate-smart agriculture, better data, and community engagement can help build resilience. The conversation also highlighted why investing in preparedness today can reduce the costs of responding to disasters tomorrow.

The full video of the conversation will be available on our YouTube channel soon.

The 30th edition of Sambaad@Samriddhi featured Dr. Rajan Khanal, Former Secretary at the Ministry of Finance, as the guest speaker.

The discussion explored Nepal’s evolving tax system, including the impact of digitalisation, the expansion of the tax base, and the growing role of direct and indirect taxes. It also examined questions such as: Why does tax compliance remain low? Is paying taxes still too difficult for citizens and businesses? And can digitalisation significantly improve tax compliance and revenue mobilisation?

Few seats remaining!

Nepal’s growing informal economy presents both an opportunity and a challenge for economic growth. As discussions around formalisation and expanding the tax base gain momentum, important questions remain: Are we equipped to bring more businesses and workers into the formal economy? What has prevented formalisation so far, and is it even feasible?

In this edition of Sambaad@Samriddhi, Dr. Rajan Khanal , Former Secretary at the Ministry of Finance, joins Ms. Arpita Nepal, Director at Samriddhi Foundation, to discuss the challenges and opportunities of formalising Nepal’s informal economy. Drawing on his extensive experience in Nepal’s public finance sector, particularly in tax reform and tax administration, we will explore what it would take to expand the tax base and make formalisation more feasible.
