Kathmandu, April 27: It has been one month since a government was formed under the leadership of senior leader Balen (Balendra) Shah of the Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP). In the House of Representatives elections held on March 5, 2026, the RSP secured a near two-thirds majority, winning 182 seats.

Balen assumed office as Prime Minister on March 27. On the same day, a Cabinet meeting decided to approve a 100-point agenda related to governance reforms. Of the 100 points made public by the government on March 28, 50 were to be implemented within one month.

The government, which unveiled a 100-day action plan, stated that most of the points would be completed within a week to three months. According to Hemraj Aryal, spokesperson for the Office of the Prime Minister and Council of Ministers, some have been implemented with delays while others are in progress. He claimed that most of the tasks scheduled for completion within one month have been completed.

“It is not possible right now to specify point-by-point how many have been completed. All have been initiated. Most of them are completed. However, all tasks that were supposed to be done within one month have at least begun,” Aryal said. “Some details are still being compiled as they need to come from the respective ministries.”

Out of the 100 points announced, the government had committed to completing 51 within 24 hours to one month. Although it has not published a one-month performance report, this report presents a point-wise status of those commitments meant to be completed within one month. Points with longer timelines are not included here.
