Abstract: The main aim of this study will focus to investigate the strength and weakness of existing organized and unorganized social and political networks, as a collective or inclusive community characteristics, and economic activity in the rural Nepal, whereas huge social imbalances and low literacy rate and poor economic conditions are still existing. For achieving this goal, firstly this study will find out existing social and political networks of a pilot village "Harinagar" in the Eastern part of Nepal and then performance for building the strong cooperative society, circulating information among heterogeneous people, and encouraging them for being economically active. And by using rural household data, this study introduces that as huge amount of population has been influenced by political parties in almost all of the rural areas of Nepal, there is much more citizens’ connectivity in political network than other existing social networks. Even various thoughts, ethnic, and religious ideologies differ within regional and national political parties, this study will prove that after awareness and intervention in the present social and political networks, people will be able to solve the local problems themselves and make direct involvement towards the village’s economic awareness and its activities and political networks will be proved as more influential than other social networks.
