Panchayat Raj (पंचायत राज)was an indigenous political system in Nepal that was in place from 1961 to 1990. It placed all governmental power, including power over the Cabinet and Parliament, under the sole authority of the King, effectively making Nepal an absolute monarchy. In addition, political parties were declared illegal. After sidelining the Nepali Congress government of B. P. Koirala on 15 December 1960 (1st Poush 2017 BS), King Mahendra introduced the Panchayat system on 5 January 1961 (22nd Poush 2017 BS). Under his direct rule, King Mahendra introduced a four-tiered structure – village, town, district and national Panchayat – based on limited elected executive committees. Mahendra further consolidated power by institutionalizing and invoking three pillars of national identity – Hindu religion, Nepali language, and monarchy – as a foundation of everyday social and religious life. This was encapsulated by the slogan Ek Raja, Ek Bhesh, Ek Bhasa, and Ek Desh (One King, One Dress, One Language, One Nation). However, there was growing popular discontent over the panchayat system. In 1990, the illegal Nepali Congress and the United Left Front, a coalition of left-wing Nepali parties, joined together to start a campaign to restore multiparty democracy. This led to the Nepalese Revolution, which began on 18 February 1990 to end the Panchayat system. King Birendra eventually announced that he would restore multiparty democracy, and the party ban was lifted on 8 April 1990, ending the panchayat system that had dominated Nepal for almost 30 years. Under the direct leadership of the king, the government implemented some of the significant projects initiated under the previous regime and oversaw further steps toward the country's development. Land reforms led to the confiscation of large Rana estates. Rajya reform abolished the special privileges of some aristocratic elites in western Nepal. A new legal code promulgated in 1963 replaced the Muluki Ain of 1854. A major land reform program launched in 1964 essentially was a failure. The new panchayat system managed to bring 50,000 to 60,000 people into a single system of representative government in a way that had been rendered impossible for the elite-based political parties. Nepal was able to carry out its second plan (1962–65) and third plan (1965-70) and to begin the Fourth Five-Year Plan (1970–75). Eradication of malaria, construction of the Mahendra Highway, or East-West Highway, along the southern foot of the hills, and land settlement programs contributed to a massive population movement from the mountains into the Terai, resulting in a significant increase in the area devoted to agriculture. Due to these economic reforms, by 1986, 2,054 industrial establishments were employing about 125,000 workers nationwide.
