This article is about the former local bodies in Nepal. For present local bodies in Nepal, see gaunpalika.
A village development committee (Nepali: गाउँ विकास समिति; gāum̐ vikās samiti) in Nepal was the lower administrative part of its Ministry of Federal Affairs and Local Development. Each district had several VDCs, similar to municipalities but with greater public-government interaction and administration. There were 3,157 village development committees in Nepal.[1][2] Each village development committee was further divided into several wards (Nepali: वडा) depending on the population of the district, the average being nine wards.
