The Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation (Nepali: विज्ञान, प्रविधि तथा नवप्रवर्तन मन्त्रालय), is a federal ministry of Nepal established on May 13, 2026. It was formed as a standalone entity led by the Balendra Shah government, which transitioned the federal cabinet from 22-ministry to 18-ministry system under the Nepal Government (Work Division) Regulations, 2083.[1]
Previously functioning as a wing under the dissolved Ministry of Education, Science and Technology, the ministry was formed as a separate entity to prioritise the nation's digital transformation, artificial intelligence integration and high-tech research and development.[2]
