The Minister of Home Affairs (or simply, the Home Minister; Nepali: गृहमन्त्री) is the head of the Ministry of Home Affairs of the Government of Nepal. One of the senior-most officers in the Federal Cabinet, the chief responsibility of the Home Minister is the maintenance of Nepal's internal security; the country's large police force comes under its jurisdiction. Occasionally, they are assisted by the Minister of State of Home Affairs and the lower-ranked Deputy Minister of Home Affairs.[1][2]
