The contribution of systems like the National Identity Card system, Digital Tax system (E-Payment and E-Tax), and the Nagarik App (Citizen App) system in Nepal is significant. However, compared to neighboring countries or nations leading in digital governance, such as Estonia, Nepal's e-governance system still appears to be in its initial phase from an institutional and technological perspective.
Nepal's digital divide is a major challenge in the institutional strengthening of e-governance. According to the Nepal Telecommunications Authority (2024), fixed broadband access is limited to 42 percent, which clearly demonstrates the inequality in access to technology between urban and rural areas.
Due to geographic remoteness, weak infrastructure, and low digital literacy, citizens in remote areas are still deprived of modern technology and services. This, in turn, has increased inequality in education, health, and economic opportunities.

Nepal Institute of Peace, in collaboration with the Calcutta Research Group, organized the South Asian Conference titled Justice, Security and Vulnerable Population in South Asia at Hotel Himalaya, Lalitpur, on 11 and 12 October 2025. The conference aimed to explore how interlinked issues of land, housing, water, food, and other resources shape vulnerability, identity, and resistance in the South Asian countries of India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, and Nepal. Participants included experts working in areas affected by developmental initiatives, policy gaps, humanitarian crises, and the multifaceted consequences of hazard mitigation.
Designed to foster discourse on people’s struggles to claim their rights to land, shelter, water, and food, the conference addressed encounters of caste, gender, urban refugees, and vulnerable communities with violence, peace, ownership, and rehabilitation. These themes were examined through the lenses of policy advocacy, the functions of grassroots organizations, and local governance.
The role of the state and civil society in addressing justice and security challenges emerged as a significant theme, contributing to a deeper understanding of the notions of security and insecurity. Given the history of armed conflict, internal displacement, and uneven development in various parts of India, Bangladesh, Nepal, and Sri Lanka, these questions were deemed urgent.
By linking everyday needs with structural inequalities, the conference contributed to broader regional conversations on how social and economic justice can be grounded in the lived experiences of vulnerable populations. It sought to highlight the purposes, objectives, successes, and limitations of humanitarian agencies, legal frameworks, and civil organizations working at the grassroots level to weave seamless threads of security, peace, and justice for vulnerable communities and society at large.
Drawing from the intersecting dynamics of climate change, disaster, and structural inequality in South Asia, the conference addressed both rapid-onset disasters and slow-onset climate changes. It explored how justice frameworks can be integrated into climate and disaster responses.
Ultimately, the conference underscored the importance of social justice and the need for enhanced human security by prioritizing the protection of the rights of vulnerable populations in the face of an evolving climate crisis.
