at least 40% for women. In the last CA election, an effort was made for 50% women’s representation through direct and proportional representation but it was not possible. Now the preamble includes a provision to reserve one seat for a woman in the prime positions of the state. For example if a man is selected in the position of President the seat of Vice President will be reserved for a woman and vice versa. Although special provisions are required to balance the gender, in some areas such as the medical profession efficiency is also very important. Thus representation alone is not always enough and empowerment is also necessary. Q - Why are the Sales tax and Value added tax included under the Central government rather than allocated to the provincial govt. for effective monitoring? Pan Bahadur Gharti A. Although federalism is the result of the disparity in the power distribution, and the income of the provinces must be expanded to make them capable of dealing with the local issues, it is also necessary to be careful about the possible risks involved with this. Closing Session At the end of the workshop, Ms. Bishnu Sherchan spoke as a representative of the participants. She said that this type of inclusive gathering of people of different ethnic and caste groups, different political parties, and representatives of women and Dialogue can provide solutions for every conflict, and if we stay open-minded, alternative doors will open. - Bishnu Sherchan Dalits is a starting point for living together in a federal system and gaining conceptual clarity before going to a federal structure.
