What National planning commission(NPC) does

The National Planning Commission (राष्ट्रिय योजना आयोग, NPC) is a constitutional body of the Government of Nepal, headquartered at Singha Darbar, Kathmandu, operating under the Office of the Prime Minister and Council of Ministers. It is the apex authority for national development planning, responsible for formulating periodic Five-Year Plans (currently the Sixteenth Plan covering fiscal years 2081/82–2085/86 / 2024/25–2028/29), the Medium-Term Expenditure Framework (MTEF), annual development programs, and the National Pride Projects portfolio. The Commission also coordinates Nepal's LDC graduation preparedness and the country's positioning on SDGs.

Its core digital portfolio is built around three internal government information management systems: the National Project Bank Management Information System (NPBMIS) for project registration and tracking across the national project pipeline; the MTEF Information Management System for medium-term expenditure structure and annual development program documentation; and the Special/Supplementary Grants Program portal that channels federal grants to provincial and local governments. It additionally publishes the Vikas Patrika Development Magazine and the Quarterly Bulletin as official knowledge products. These systems are internal, authentication-gated government infrastructure and are not exposed as public APIs or commercial products.

NPC serves federal ministries and departments (its primary segment), the seven provincial governments, and 753 local governments (rural municipalities and municipalities). It does not operate a commercial revenue model: as a constitutional body it is funded through government budget allocation, and its planning, advisory, and coordination services are not fee-based. International engagement with UN agencies, the World Bank, ADB, IMF, ICIMOD, SAARC, and the Colombo Plan forms a second stakeholder layer for development financing and policy coordination. (Note: the source firmographic header lists Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, but all substantive evidence — Nepali legal name, npc.gov.np domain, +977 phone numbers, Singha Darbar Kathmandu address, NPL jurisdiction, and Nepali-language colleagues — confirms Nepal as the operating jurisdiction.)
