About Nepal Next
Nepal’s civic intelligence platform
We gather, verify, and publish the civic information that every Nepali citizen deserves to have. Every source cited. Every claim checkable. No noise.
How it works
From public record to published fact
Five steps. Tap each one — the whole machine takes a minute to understand.
Machines read the public record all day.
Government notices, court decisions, budgets, credible Nepali press — collected automatically, around the clock, in Nepali and English. Nothing is typed in from memory; everything arrives with its source attached.
For example
A ministry publishes a notice at 09:00. It is on the Suchana Board with the original document linked the same hour.
We never publish a score we cannot defend
Unscored means unscored — not secretly scored.
We never call anyone corrupt without a court, audit or official record
Allegations are labelled as allegations, with their status.
We never take money from parties or governments
Independence is the product. There is no version of this that works otherwise.
We never delete quietly
Corrections are visible and dated. The record is the record.

Why we built this
Nepal has had seven constitutions in seventy-seven years. At one point, five prime ministers changed in four years. Billions of rupees pass through government budgets annually, and most Nepalis have no simple way to understand where the money goes, who made the decision, or whether anyone is being held to account for it.
That gap is what Nepal Next was built to close.
We are a civic intelligence platform. We gather verified information about what Nepal’s government is doing, score public figures against the promises they made, publish live government notices in plain language, and give citizens a structured place to report issues and get a real response.
We work like a newsroom with specialist desks. Each desk is led by a Department Officer who reviews and approves everything before it reaches the public. We use AI to process and summarise information at scale, but the judgment about what is accurate enough to publish is always made by a person.
We are not affiliated with any political party, government ministry, or commercial interest. That independence is not a marketing line. It is how we have operated since the beginning, and it is not something we are willing to negotiate.
How we work
We verify before we publish
A story that turns out to be wrong is worse than no story at all. Every article, notice, and verdict we publish carries a source trail and a verification level. Readers can always see the basis for any claim we make.
We do not take sides on politics
We report on what leaders do and what governments decide. We score performance against stated promises. We do not endorse candidates, parties, or positions, and we never will.
AI helps. Humans judge.
We use AI for classification, translation, and summarisation. No AI output touches the public without a Department Officer reviewing and approving it first. The judgment about what is true enough to publish is always a human one.
When we are wrong, we say so openly
Corrections get their own permanent record with the date, what changed, and why. Nothing is quietly edited. The old version remains visible so readers can see exactly what we got wrong and how we fixed it.
Our evidence is fully open
The score for every leader, the verification level for every story, the source for every notice. Every claim we publish carries the evidence needed to check it. If you want to test our work, you can.
Noise is not journalism
Rumour, unverified claims, and speculation do not appear here. If we cannot confirm something, we say so clearly. We would rather publish nothing than publish something we cannot stand behind.
Our departments
Each department has its own desk, its own Officer, and its own standards. They are separate by design so that no single editor or process becomes a bottleneck for the whole platform.
Sansad
All 275 members of the House of Representatives: profiles, backgrounds, and the full chamber, party by party, seat by seat.

Constitutional rights
Nepal’s 2015 Constitution guarantees 31 fundamental rights to every person in the country. Most people do not know them. Most people do not know where to go when those rights are violated.
We built a constitutional rights adviser for exactly this reason. You tell it who you are, whether a Nepali citizen, a student, a tourist, a journalist, or a business owner, and it tells you what the constitution says about your situation, cites the exact article, and directs you to the right authority to contact.
