Democracy Day is being celebrated across the country today with various programs. The government and different organizations have planned events to mark this occasion.
This day is observed every year on Falgun 7 to commemorate the success of the 2007 BS revolution, which ended 104 years of Rana rule and established democracy in Nepal.
Over time, democracy evolved into a federal democratic republic, shaping Nepal’s current political system.
Democracy Day is significant because it represents the people’s struggle and the sacrifices of brave martyrs who fought for the principle that state power belongs to the people and that the nation’s sovereignty should rest with its citizens.
Nepal’s democratic journey began after King Tribhuvan’s declaration, which led to the formation of a new government consisting of the Ranas and the Nepali Congress, marking the start of democratic governance in the country.
