The Municipal Executive office of the Pathivara Yangwarak Rural Municipality (पाथीभरा याङवरक गाँउपालिका, ताप्लेजुङ्ग) is located at Thechambu, Taplejung District, Koshi Pradesh of Nepal. Pathivara Yangwarak Gaunpalika is a local government. It has incorporated in 2017 AD and has been providing various kinds of local government services through 6 Wards.

Pathibhara Yangwarak Rural Municipality has been serving the local community since its formation. Spread across six wards, the municipality plays a crucial role in delivering essential services, supporting local livelihoods, and enhancing the quality of life for the people residing in this hilly region of Taplejung.

Helping Citizens with Everyday Essentials

The municipality helps residents with important personal documents and official work. Services include:

• Registration of births, deaths, and marriages

• Recommendations for citizenship and identity documents

• Land-related approvals and tax collection

• Support for social security, including elderly and disability identity cards

These services are available at the ward level to make access easier for everyone.

Supporting Health in the Community

Health services may be limited, but the municipality continues to make healthcare more reachable.
Here’s what they’re doing:

• Running basic health posts in the area

• Organizing free health camps and checkups in rural locations

• Promoting vaccination, safe motherhood, and family planning

Wards 2, 3, 4, and 6 have already been declared fully immunized, and other wards are close to achieving the same.

• Farming tools like mini-tractors, sprayers, and plastic tunnels

• Advice on vegetable farming and livestock care

These programs are helping families boost their income and reduce reliance on foreign employment.

Building Roads and Infrastructure

It shares information regularly and encourages locals to get involved. This includes:

• Listening to community feedback during ward meetings

• Settling local disputes through the Judicial Committee, headed by the Vice-Chairperson
