The history of computer in Nepal dates back to 2028, when a second generation IBM 1401 computer, was initially hired on rent by The Government of Nepal, paying RS. one lakh twenty five thousand per month to use in the census of that year. IBM 1401 took 1 year, 7 months and 15 days to process 1 crore and 12,5 lakhs population, After the completion of this work, discussion had taken place whether to send it back or use and continue it for the continuous processing and proper use of the computer in Bureau Statics.
Later, this computer was purchased by the government for further data processing in Bureau of Statistics, As, it became necessary to operate the computer continuously, the Electronic Data Processing
Center was set in 2031 to operate the computer, which was later renamed as " national Computer Center" (NCC). Another British model computer called ICL 2950/10 was purchased for the census of 2038 B.S. It was funded by UNDP and UNFA at two million American dollars. The census of 2038 was completed within a year and quarter with the help of this computer.
