Most of the provinces have formed the Province Public Service Commission and thereby initiated recruiting and promoting necessary employees at the province and local levels following the country adopting federal structure.
The Madhes province was the first-ever province to formulate its own Civil Service Act in Nepal. The 'Province Civil Service Act, 2077' had come into effect after its certification on 12 March 2021.
Earlier to the formulation of this Act, the Madhes Province Assembly formulated the 'Province Public Service Commission Act, 2076' and formed the 'Madhes Province Public Service Commission' on 8 September 2019.
The Commission has been selecting candidates and recommending them for appointment as per the demand received for fulfilment of vacancies in province civil service and local level units within the province.
But the employees appointed through the process could not even access PIS numbers for archiving and accessing their personal records. But now, a door has opened up for keeping personal records at province level with the federal government's Rastriya Kitabkhana (Nijamati) handing over the provincial PIS system to the provincial government.
On the presence of Province Chief Harishanker Mishra and Chief Minister Saroj Kumar Yadav, Deputy Director Sushila Aryal on behalf of Rastriya Kitabkhana (Nijamati) and Acting Chief Secretary of the Office of Madhes Province Chief Minister and Council of Ministers Kishor Kumar Chaudhary signed a memorandum of understanding for the same. It opened up avenues for updating the information of province employees. Various stakeholders have expressed happiness over the handover of PIS portal after a long time, terming it a crucial development.
