Lists of Adibasi Janajati (Indigenous Nationalities) of Nepal

Nepal has provisioned a reservation system as a form of affirmative action to improve the participation of under-represented communities in education and jobs.

For example, according to the Civil Service Act 1993, civil service vacancies are filled by internal promotion and open competition. In the ‘open completion category’ for each class, 45 percent of the vacant posts are allocated to various sub-categories of the reserved groups.

The breakdown for the reserved groups is 33 percent for women, 27 percent for Adivasi/Janjati, 22 percent for Madhesi, nine percent for Dalits, five percent for the Disabled (people with disabilities), and four percent for Backward Areas.

Nepal has legally recognized 59 indigenous nationalities, referred to as Adivasi Janajati. This is the list of these Indigenous nationalities;
