It is mainly based on the secondary data of Nepal Economic Census-2018. Information regarding objectives was collected through various search engines by simple literature review. The status of economic activities is found unequal at provincial level in Nepal. Among eighteen groups of economic activities, Bagmati province is in top-most position followed by province-1 and province-5.
