The Minister of Home Affairs (or simply, the Home Minister, in Nepali Griha Mantri) is the head of the Ministry of Home Affairs of the Government of Nepal. One of the senior-most officers in the Union 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.
