Nepal has
its long history on land management sector from Vaidic

amount of revenue depicts that the land administration
was controlled by the state in the past time as well.The
practice of land revenue collection, maintainance of
land records, distribution of collected amount to the
employees and using the rest amount for the state affairs

units like hale, kodale, mato muri, bijan, mana etc.The
