Although Dadeldhura district, spread across the mountainous and interior Madhes geography of the Far Western Province, is known for its natural beauty, historical identity, and religious beliefs, its real identity is linked to incomplete roads, weak infrastructure, and slow development.

The poor state of physical infrastructure development has been seriously affecting the economic, social and human development of the district. The lifestyle of the district is based on traditional agriculture and small business.

In recent years, Dadeldhura has been moving forward facing both potential and crisis. Lack of employment, youth migration, weak infrastructure and slow service delivery have weakened the pace of development. There are 52 wards in 2 municipalities and 5 rural municipalities in this district.

Dadeldhura district, located in the hilly geography of Sudurpaschim Province, has always been in the news politically. The main reason for this is that it is the home district of former Prime Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba. Despite Deuba, who has been active in national politics for more than three decades, and holding the position of Prime Minister five times, the overall situation of Dadeldhura seems to be stuck in the balance between development and poverty. The data on education, health, agriculture and migration prepared in recent years are not very satisfactory.

This district is made up of the Chure Hills, the Mahabharata mountain range and the inner Madhes region. According to the National Census 2078, Dadeldhura has a population of 139,602. Of these, 65,893 are males (47.2 percent) and 73,709 are females (52.8 percent). According to the 2068 census, the district's population has decreased by 2,492.

Despite the decreasing population, the number of households has increased. According to the data, the number of households in Dadeldhura has increased by 4,148 in the last 10 years. The number of households in Dadeldhura, which was 27,458 in 2068, has increased to 31,193 in 2078, which is an increase of about 15.34 percent. The annual population growth rate is negative. The census shows that the average annual population growth rate from 2068 to 2078 was 0.17 percent.

In the previous decade, i.e. from 2058 to 2068, the annual growth rate was 1.19 percent. This has had a direct impact on the population in recent times due to migration, foreign employment and social changes. The population density is also stable. There are 91 people per square kilometer. In 2068, the population density was 92 and in 2058, it was 82.

There has been a significant decrease in family size. Currently, there are an average of 4.48 members per family in Dadeldhura, while in 2068, the average family size was 5.25. According to census data, families with four members are the most numerous. Families with only one member account for 7.07 percent, while families with 9 or more members account for 3.74 percent.

The inner Madhesh region (Alital and Parshuram areas) is considered the food bank of the district, while in the hilly areas, maize, wheat, potato, vegetable farming and animal husbandry are the main occupations. This district, which experiences cold weather most of the time, even receives snow in the high hilly areas during the winter months.

The main occupation of the residents of Dadeldhura is agriculture. According to the National Agricultural Census 2078, there are 26,984 farming families in the district. The inner Madhesh region has become the base for grain production, while subsistence farming still dominates in the hilly areas. Although trade and service-oriented businesses are growing around the district headquarters, the overall economy of the district seems weak.

The youth here have migrated to India, the Gulf countries and big cities in search of employment. Some youth in the villages have started small enterprises like vegetable farming, poultry farming, and goat farming. Dil Bahadur Air of Amargadhi Municipality-1 said that it is becoming increasingly difficult to make a living from farming. He said that the situation of not getting seeds on time and not getting a fair price for the produce is discouraging the agricultural profession. He said, "Even if you get good seeds, there is a lack of market after production. Due to the weak economic situation, you have to go abroad or adopt other options. That is why I am now doing business in the district headquarters." Quality seeds, irrigation inconvenience, and lack of market assurance are the main problems faced by farmers in the district.  

Houses in many villages here are becoming empty. The fields have become barren after the youth leave. The sight of only the elderly living in a house is becoming common. Lack of employment, lack of quality education and health services, and lack of future opportunities have become the main reasons for migration. Locals expect that if transportation, education, and health infrastructure are expanded, the migration will decrease due to the suitable climate and proximity to the Terai.

Although there are examples of some families returning and starting small businesses, they are limited. Local youth are repeatedly attracted to foreign employment due to livelihood and employment opportunities. Dambar Nath of Ganyapadhura says that after returning from abroad for foreign employment, he wanted to do some business in Nepal. But he said that investing here was risky and he went back to India. He said that he could not raise a large capital to start a business in the beginning, so he went back to India to meet the expenses of his family. He said, "After returning from abroad, I thought of doing something in Nepal. But after working in India for two months, now I am preparing to go abroad again."

Challenges in food security
There are 26,984 total farming families in Dadeldhura. Due to lack of cultivable land and access to irrigation, the district has not been able to become self-sufficient in food production. However, the district has achieved good results in vegetable and potato production. There is 10,192.3 hectares of land being used in agriculture. Irrigation facilities are available on only 32.31 percent of the total cultivable land. Of the cultivable land, 3,430.8 hectares (33.7) are fields and 6,761.5 hectares (66.3) are paddy fields. The area of ​​both fields and paddy fields has decreased from 2068 to 2078.

Only 57.76 percent of the total farming families are using irrigation. Out of the total 10,192.3 hectares, only 3,293 hectares are irrigated, which is 374.4 hectares less than in the last 10 years. Although the area of ​​crops other than tubers and some temporary crops has decreased, the number of families cultivating maize, millet, oilseeds and cash crops has increased.

Only 9.7 percent of farming families take agricultural loans. Of the total farming families, 24.24 percent have enough to eat throughout the year with their own production. 75.76 percent do not. Of the food insecure families, 47.47 percent have enough to eat for 4-6 months, 29.56 percent for 7-9 months, 17.46 percent for 1-3 months and 6.14 percent for 10-12 months. Of the food insecure families, 62.55 percent are earning their food from wages/salaries within the country, and 29.27 percent from foreign employment (remittances).

Some farmers have been living in community forest areas. In Ganyapadhura alone, 14 families who have not received land titles have been living in community forests for years. Local Bahadur Damai said that even after 17 years of the declaration of Haliya Mukti, the problem remains due to the lack of systematic rehabilitation.

Amidst the challenges in the agricultural sector, Dadeldhura is becoming a leader in vegetable production. The effectiveness of the Agricultural Knowledge Center and farmer-targeted programs under the Prime Minister's Agriculture Modernization Program has increased the production of vegetables such as potatoes, cabbage, and cauliflower. Last year alone, there are statistics that potatoes worth Rs 710 million were produced in the district. According to Pitambar Basnet, head of the Prime Minister's Agriculture Modernization Program Implementation Unit, production and income have increased due to technical assistance and subsidies on fertilizers and seeds. Oranges and seasonal fruits are also produced in abundance in Bhageshwor, Amargadhi, and Ganyapadhura areas and are being exported to Dhangadhi, Nepalgunj, and Kathmandu.

Land shrinkage, lack of irrigation, and food insecurity have become the main challenges in Dadeldhura. However, if targeted programs, technical assistance and market access are expanded, the economic potential of the district can be further strengthened through vegetables and potatoes under agricultural production, said Narendra Paneru, head of the Krishi Gyan Kendra Dadeldhura.

Social security allowance, free health services and educational scholarship programs are being operated in Dadeldhura. Social security allowance has helped the elderly, the disabled and single women in their livelihood. According to the beneficiaries, the allowance has made it easier to buy medicines and meet daily expenses, while for some elderly and poor citizens, living has become even more challenging.

Bindra Tamta of Amargadhi-6 said that although social security allowance makes it easier to live, it would be helpful if the government came to the elderly's homes and provided them as it takes a lot of time and expense to go to the bank to collect the allowance. ‘Even though social security allowance makes it easy to live, we have to go to the bank to get it,’ she said, ‘Even if we get the allowance, we have to face difficulties due to the distance to the bank and walking.’   

According to the latest national census, the literacy rate of the district has reached 78.19 percent. There are schools in almost every ward here.  Although the school dropout rate has decreased somewhat due to the lunch and scholarship programs, children in remote settlements are still not able to study easily.

Chandra Bahadur Saund, principal of Kailapal Basic School Nyalek, said that all students, teachers, and parents should be interested in improving the quality of education. ‘All students, teachers, and parents should be interested in bringing all children within the reach of schools,’ he said, ‘It is also essential for parents to create an environment where children can go to school regularly.’

According to the statistics, the male literacy rate in the district is 89.11 percent and the female literacy rate is 68.69 percent. Looking at the local level details, the literacy rate has reached the highest in Amargadhi Municipality at 81.83 percent. Then Alital Rural Municipality at 81.03 percent, Bhageshwor Rural Municipality at 80 percent and Parashuram Municipality at 78.74 percent. Ajaymeru Rural Municipality has a literacy rate of 75.66 percent, Ganyapadhura Rural Municipality at 74.09 percent. The lowest literacy rate is in Navadurga Rural Municipality at 72.14 percent.

The male literacy rate is highest in Amargadhi Municipality and lowest in Navadurga Rural Municipality. As for women, the literacy rate is high in Alital Rural Municipality while it is lowest in Navadurga Rural Municipality. This shows that the remote settlements and socio-economic conditions are still affecting women's education.

There are 184 community and 22 institutional schools in operation at the basic level in Dadeldhura. There are 63 community and 6 institutional schools at the secondary level. In the technical education sector, civil engineering is being taught at Mahendra Secondary School in Khalanga, the district headquarters, and Bir Balabhadra Secondary School in Koteli.

The agricultural technical stream is being operated at Balakalyan Secondary School in Ajaymeru, while civil engineering is also being taught at Siddhanath Secondary School in Jogbudha in the inner Madhesh region. Three campuses offering education up to the bachelor's level and one campus offering education up to the master's level are operating in the district.

According to Keshav Raj Joshi, Information Officer of the Education Development and Coordination Unit, Dadeldhura, the teacher posts in the district have not been filled as per the requirement. He said that since the teacher posts are under the local level after the federal structure, the filling process is progressing through the education branch.

Efforts have been intensified in Dadeldhura to provide citizens with basic to specialized services through government, private and community-level health institutions. According to the data, there are 2 government hospitals, 1 private hospital, 24 health posts, 6 urban health units, 72 village clinics and 101 vaccination centers in the district. Along with this, health services are being expanded in the community through 462 female health volunteers. Government and non-government organizations have also been collaborating in the health sector.

The federal-level Dadeldhura Hospital and the provincial-level Jogbuda Provincial Hospital are operating in the district. According to the health office, there is at least one health institution in each ward. This has extended access to services to the local level. Despite this, many citizens are not able to receive timely treatment due to geographical difficulties. Belu Bik of Beta village said that she has to suffer when she falls ill because the health post is far away. Apart from this, it is also difficult for pregnant women to get services in rural settlements of the district. There are also examples of some women giving birth on the road. There are widespread complaints from locals that there is no specialist doctor in the federal government-run Dadeldhura Hospital in the district headquarters.

स्वास्थ्य कार्यालय डडेलधुराका अनुसार राष्ट्रिय खोप कार्यक्रम, पोषण कार्यक्रम, नवजात शिशु तथा बालरोगको एकीकृत व्यवस्थापन, सुरक्षित मातृत्व, परिवार नियोजन, कुपोषण नियन्त्रण, औषधि नियन्त्रण र क्षयरोग नियन्त्रणजस्ता कार्यत्रम नियमित रूपमा सञ्चालनमा छन्। कार्यालयले समय–समयमा स्वास्थ्य शिविरमार्फत सेवा प्रदान गर्दै आएको छ।

स्वास्थ्य कार्यालयका परिवार नियोजन सुपरभाइजर भवानसिंह कुँवरका अनुसार विशेषगरी परिवार नियोजनसम्बन्धी शिविर गाउँघरमै पुगेर सञ्चालन गरिँदै आएका छन्। फागुन दोस्रो साता तीन वटा पालिकामा गरिएको स्थायी परिवार नियोजन (बन्ध्याकरण) शिविरबाट २७ जनाले सेवा लिएका थिए। यसबाहेक पहाडी क्षेत्रमा बढ्दो डेंगी जोखिम न्यूनीकरण गर्न लार्भा खोजी तथा नष्ट गर्ने अभियान निरन्तर चलिरहेको छ। स्वास्थ्य कार्यालयले मातृ मृत्युदर शून्यमा झार्ने लक्ष्यसहित उपचार र सेवा प्रदान गरिरहेको जनाएको छ। यद्यपि चालु आर्थिक वर्षमा मात्रै चार जना सुत्केरीको मृत्यु भइसकेको छ।

सडक–पुलले गति लिँदै, हजार बढी घरधुरी अध्यारोमै 
जिल्लामा सडक तथा पुलजस्ता पूर्वाधार विस्तारलाई तीव्रता दिएको देखिन्छ । हाल डडेल्धुरामा १४ वटा सडक तथा पुल आयोजना निर्माण र स्तराेन्नतिका क्रममा रहेका छन् । बहुवर्षीय तथा चालु योजनाअन्तर्गत ग्रामीण, सीमावर्ती, धार्मिक तथा पर्यटकीय क्षेत्र जोड्ने गरी सडक निर्माण, स्तरोन्नति, कालोपत्र र पुल निर्माण कार्य भइरहेको हो। 

दैजी–जोगबुढा–सलोन–चिरकेट्टे–पोखरा–ढुङ्गाड सडक मुख्य प्राथमिकतामा छ। यसअन्तर्गत पोखरा–बेलापुर–ढुङ्गाड खण्डमा पोखरादेखि भौसेलीमाडौंसम्म करिब १० किलोमिटर कालोपत्र सडक निर्माणाधीन छ। त्यस्तै, सलोनदेखि चिर्केट्टेसम्मको ५ किलोमिटर खण्ड ग्राभेल सडकको रुपमा निर्माण भइरहेको छ। गाईबाँधे–लिप्नाखण्ड १० किलोमिटर कालोपत्र सडक निर्माणाधीन छ भने पोखरा–बेलापुर खण्डको पनालखेतदेखि असुर्पासम्म साढे ३ किलोमिटर कालोपत्र निर्माणको त्रममा छ। 

भौसेलीमाडौंदेखि पनालखेतसम्मको साढे ४ किलोमिटर कालोपत्र सडक पनि निर्माणाधीन छ। आइत–भलिया–कीर्तिपुर खण्डमा आइतबजारदेखि कीर्तिपुरसम्म ६.७ किलोमिटर कालोपत्र सडक निर्माणाधीन छ। यस्तै, सलोन–चिर्केटे–घटाल खण्ड अन्तर्गत सलोनदेखि घटालसम्म करिब ४५ किलोमिटर कच्ची सडक स्तरोन्नति गर्दै निर्माण भइरहेको छ।

यसका साथै जिल्लाभरका अन्य सडक परियोजना पनि तीव्र गतिमा अघि बढिरहेका छन्। कटाल–परशुरामधाम धार्मिक पर्यटकीय सडक, बगरकोट–सिराड–रुपाल सडक, रंगुनखोला सडक पुलको डिजाइन तथा निर्माणकार्य, उग्रतारा–मेलौली सडक, बुडर–जोगबुढा सडक, गोदाम–बाहिरीसेन सडक पुल निर्माणलगायतका काम केही सम्पन्न भइसकेका छन् भने केही निर्माणाधीन छन्।

यी सडक योजना सम्पन्न भएपछि विशेषगरी कृषि र व्यापारमा सहज पहुँच, धार्मिक तथा पर्यटकीय क्षेत्रको प्रवर्द्धन र आपतकालीन सेवा सहज रूपमा सञ्चालन गर्न सहयोग पुग्ने अपेक्षा गरिएको छ। सडक पूर्वाधार विस्तारमा कठिन भूगोल, मौसम र बजेट अभावका कारण केही खण्डमा काम ढिला हुने समस्या देखिएको छ। सदरमुकाम क्षेत्रको सडक फराकिलो बनाउन किनारका घरटहरा मुआब्जा पनि दिइएको थियो। तर, अझै पनि सडक बिस्तार हुन सकेको छैन। यसबाहेक ग्रामीण सडकहरु पनि बर्खामा हिलाम्मे र हिउँदमा धुमाम्मे भएर सवारीसाधन चलाउन समस्या हुने गरेको छ।  

सडक र पुलको काम अघि बढिरहँदा जिल्लामा विद्युतको पहुँच भने अझै असमान देखिन्छ। विद्युत पहुँच अभावले सयौं परिवार अझै आध्यारोमा बस्न बाध्य छन्। १ हजारभन्दा बढी घरधुरी विद्युत् सेवाबाट बञ्चित छन्। भागेश्वर गाउँपालिकाको लेकुडा गाउँका बासिन्दा वर्षौंदेखि बिजुलीको प्रतीक्षामा छन्।

वर्षौंअघि गाडिएका पोलका खम्बा अहिले कपडा सुकाउने र घाँस राख्ने थामोका रूपमा प्रयोग भइरहेका छन्। विद्युत् नहुादा विद्यार्थीको पढाइ प्रभावित भएको छ भने मोबाइल चार्ज गर्नसमेत समस्या भइरहेको स्थानीयले गुनासो गरेका छन्। टेलिफोन टावर नहुँदा भारतीय सिम प्रयोग गर्नुपरेको उनीहरूको भनाइ छ। 

नेपाल विद्युत प्राधिकरण वितरण केन्द्र डडेल्धुराका प्रमुख कपिल जोशीका अनुसार जिल्लाभर ३० हजार १५१ घरपरिवारमा विद्युत पुगेको छ। बाँकी १ हजार २१ घरपरिवार अझै विद्युत् पहुँचबाहिर छन् ।  

सदरमुकाम रहेको अमरगढी नगरपालिकाभित्रका ६० घरधुरीमा अझै बिजुली पुगेको छैन। परशुराम नगरपालिकाका ३०८ घरपरिवार विद्युत सेवाबाट बञ्चित छन्। बसौटी, सलोन, हल्दवारी, रजौडा, सिमलवण्ड, कुँडालगायतका बस्तीमा विद्युत् सेवा विस्तार हुन बाँकी छ।

त्यस्तै, आलिताल गाउँपालिकामा १८९, भागेश्वर गाउँपालिकामा १४८, नवदुर्गा गाउँपालिकामा ८५, अजयमेरु गाउँपालिकामा १०० तथा गन्यापधुरा गाउँपालिकामा १३१ घरपरिवार अझै विद्युत पहुँचबाहिर रहेका छन्। बिजुलीको पहुँच नहुँदा स्थानीय नागरिक टुकी र सोलारको भरमा दैनिकी चलाउन बाध्य छन्।

हरेक निर्वाचनमा उठ्ने मुख्य सवाल रोजगारी, सडक, शिक्षा र स्वास्थ्य । नारा र आश्वासन दोहोरिन्छन्, तर कार्यान्वयन सुस्त देहिएको छ। यही निराशाबीच पनि सम्भावना भने बाँकी छन्। कृषि आधुनिकीकरण, जडीबुटी उत्पादन, धार्मिक तथा प्राकृतिक पर्यटन र जलस्रोत विकासले जिल्लालाई आत्मनिर्भर बनाउने आधार तयार गर्न सक्छ। गाउँमै रोजगारी, शिक्षा, स्वास्थ्य, गुणस्तरीय सेवा र दिगो विकास जस्ता कुरा व्यवहारमै उतारिनुपर्ने स्थानीयको माग छ।

जैविक विविधता संरक्षणमा चुनौती  
घना जंगलले ढाकिएको क्षेत्रका रूपमा परिचित जिल्लामा पछिल्लो समय विनाशको गति पनि बढ्दै गएको छ। विसं २०२० तिर पहाडी जिल्लाबाट भित्री मधेसतर्फ बसाइँसराइ तीव्र भएपछि डडेल्धुराका धेरै वन क्षेक्र अतित्रमणमा परे। खेती र बस्ती विस्तारसँगै वन क्षेक्र त्रमशः खुम्चिँदै गयो।

यस अवस्थालाई नियन्त्रण गर्न नेपालमा आव २०३५/३६ बाट सामुदायिक वन विकास कार्यक्रम सुरु गरियो। पञ्चायती वन र पञ्चायत संरक्षित वन स्थापना गर्दै व्यापक वृक्षारोपण अभियान थालनी गरियो। विसं २०३९ सालसम्म डडेल्धुरा जिल्ला बैतडी वन डिभिजन कार्यालयको कार्यक्षेत्रमा पर्दथ्यो ।

२०४० सालमा नयाँ संगठन संरचना लागू भएपछि जिल्ला वन कार्यालय डडेल्धुराको स्थापना भयो। त्यसपछि २०४७/४८ बाट वृक्षारोपण कार्यक्रमलाई सामुदायिक वृक्षारोपणको रूपमा सञ्चालन गर्दै २०४८/४९ देखि वन विकास गुरुयोजना लागू गरियो, जसले स्थानीय उपभोक्ता समूहलाई नै वन व्यवस्थापनको केन्द्रमा राख्यो।

समयसँगै सामुदायिक वन कार्यक्रमले वृक्षारोपणभन्दा बढी विद्यमान वनजंगलको संरक्षणमा जोड दिन थाल्यो। वन ऐन तथा वन नियमावलीले पनि स्थानीय उपभोक्ताबाट हुने वन व्यवस्थापनलाई प्राथमिकता दिएको छ। यसको परिणामस्वरूप डडेल्धुराको करिब ७५ प्रतिशत भूभाग वनजंगलले ओगटेको छ । 

वनजंगलसँगै डडेल्धुरा जैविक विविधतामा पनि धनी जिल्ला हो। यहाँ तराईजस्तै तातो भूभागदेखि पहाडी र उच्च भेगसम्म फैलिएको भूगोलमा विविध वनस्पति र वन्यजन्तु पाइन्छन्। जिल्लाका विभिन्न क्षेत्रमा स्याल, फ्याउरो, लोखर्के, बाँदर, बदेल, हरिण, चितुवा, वन बिरालो, दुम्सी, न्याउरी मुसा, घोरल, रतुवा, लंगुर बाँदर र चमेरोजस्ता स्तनधारी वन्यजन्तु भेटिन्छन्। कहिलेकँही कालो भालु चितुवा र बाघजस्ता दुर्लभ वन्यजन्तु पनि देखिने गरेका छन्।

यहाँ काष्ठ वन पैदावारतर्फ साल, अस्ना, कमाव, बाँझ, उत्तीस, सल्ला, कटुस, काफल, गुराँसजस्ता प्रजाति प्रमुख रुपमा पाइन्छन्। त्यस्तै गैह्रकाष्ठ वन पैदावारमा अमला, हर्रो, बर्रो, चिराइतो, लोक्टा, रिठ्ठा, टिमुर, अल्लो, निगालो, चिउरीजस्ता जडीबुटी तथा वनस्पति आर्थिक दृष्टिले महत्वपूर्ण मानिन्छन्। यी वन पैदावारले स्थानीयको जीविकोपार्जनमा पनि ठूलो योगदान पुर्‍याउँदै आएका छन्।

तर वन संरक्षणसँगै अर्को गम्भीर चुनौती भू–क्षय र जलाधार व्यवस्थापनको छ। भू तथा जलाधार व्यवस्थापन कार्यालय डडेल्धुराले जिल्लालाई ४७ वटा उपजलाधार क्षेत्रमा विभाजन गरी प्राथमिकता निर्धारण गरेको छ। भूक्षय संवेदनशीलताका आधारमा जिल्लाको करिब ३ प्रतिशत क्षेत्र अति संवेदनशील, ६६ प्रतिशत संवेदनशील, २४ प्रतिशत मध्यम संवेदनशील रहेको तथ्यांकले समस्या कति गम्भीर छ भन्ने देखाउँछ। नवदुर्गा, गन्यापधुरा, अजयमेरु गाउँपालिका तथा परशुराम नगरपालिका र आलिताल गाउँपालिकाका केही भूभाग भूक्षयको दृष्टिले अत्यन्त संवेदनशील छन्।

यी क्षेत्रहरूमा माटो बग्ने, खोल्सा–नदी कटान, पहिरो र बाढीका कारण कृषियोग्य भूमि क्षतिग्रस्त हुँदै आएको छ। यसले उत्पादन र उत्पादकत्व घट्नुका साथै धनजनको क्षति हुने समस्या बढाएको छ। कतिपय पानीका मुहान सुक्दै जानु, उपलब्ध पानी स्रोतको संरक्षण र सदुपयोग नहुनु पनि डडेल्धुरामा देखिएका प्रमुख चुनौती हुन्।

डडेल्धुरा डिभिजन वन कार्यालयअन्तर्गत हाल आठ वटा सवडिभिजन वन कार्यालय सञ्चालनमा छन्। परशुराम नगरपालिका क्षेत्रमा दुई वटा र अन्य ६ वटा पालिकामा एक–एक वटा सवडिभिजन वन कार्यालय रहेका छन्। यी कार्यालयमार्फत वन संरक्षण, सामुदायिक वन व्यवस्थापन, जैविक विविधता संरक्षण र भू–जलाधार व्यवस्थापनका कार्यक्रम सञ्चालन भइरहेका छन्।

डडेलधुरा जिल्लामा प्रशासनिक काममा ढिलासुस्ती घट्दै आएको छ। विगतमा सेवाग्राहीले कार्यालयको कामकाज ढिलो हुनु, कागजपत्रमा अनावश्यक ढिलाइ हुनु र सेवा सहज नपाउनु जस्ता गुनासो गरेको पाइन्थ्यो। तर पछिल्लो समय स्थानीय प्रशासनले केही सुधार ल्याएको देखिन्छ। तर, यसले पूर्ण पारदर्शिता र निर्मल प्रशासनको दाबी गर्न अझै पर्याप्त छैन। अख्तियार दुरुपयोग अनुसन्धान आयोगको कञ्चनपुर कार्यालयले गत मङ्सिरमा सार्वजनिक गरेको तथ्यांक अनुसार डडेल्धुराबाट कुल ५५ वटा उजुरी दर्ता भएका थिए। 

यहाँबाट २०४८ सालदेखि सधैं निर्वाचित हुँदै आएका पूर्वप्रधानमन्त्री शेरबहादुर देउवा यसपाली उम्मेदवार छैनन् । आसन्न निर्वाचनमा यहाँका उम्मेदवारहरुले विकासका पूर्वाधारलाई नै चुनावी एजेण्डा बनाएका छन् । यहाँ कांग्रेस, एमाले, नेकपा र रास्वपाबीच चुनावी प्रतिस्पर्धा छ ।
