However, no agreement has been reached between the parties affiliated to the government of Madhesh province to appoint officials yet.
The appointment process has been stuck in the Council of Ministers for two months due to the tussle between the parties. The then Chief Minister Lal Babu Raut's government brought the Dalit Empowerment Act, 2076 earlier than other provinces to address the problems of free education, scholarships, concessions, etc. by uplifting the Dalits here. was . According to section 7 of the same act, the four-year tenure of the office bearer of the committee has ended in the second week of February 2081. However, the Madhesh government has not been able to appoint new officials yet.
Section 7 of the Dalit Empowerment Act, 2076 has a provision to form a committee under the chairmanship of the Minister of Social Development (currently Sports and Social Welfare). It is mentioned that the vice-president will be a person from the Dalit community who has passed the graduation level and gained fame in studies, teaching and research work in the upliftment, development and Dalit-related work of the 11th level officer.

There is a provision in the Act that the Deputy Secretary of the Ministry of Social Welfare will be the Law Secretary and Member Secretary. According to the law, officials will be appointed by the Council of Ministers on the recommendation of the Minister of Sports and Social Welfare. Sports and Social Welfare Minister Pramod Kumar Jaiswal has recommended the appointment of officials two months ago, but the appointment process has been stuck in the Council of Ministers due to non-participation.
In the coalition Madhesh government, the Ministry of Social Welfare is part of the UML, while the Chief Minister is from the Janmat Party. Apart from these two parties, Congress and Democratic Socialist Party (LOSP) are also making their own claims for office bearers and the appointment process has been stopped. Minister Jaiswal said that he has recommended the names of two people for the vice president and claimed that they will be appointed in a week and a half.
There is no question of party affiliation, the recommendation should go from here and we are recommending two people for the position of vice president. "It is easy to appoint one person," Minister Jaiswal said, "There was a delay in appointing officers due to budget problems, now there is no budget problem."
On the other hand, Chief Minister Satish Kumar Singh said that it may take another month to appoint officials. "There is a government of coalition but there is no issue of sharing among the officials," he said, "Now we are paying attention to the drought-affected areas, then we will do that gradually."
