About US

The whole world can be considered as a small house due to globalization processes. Any human or natural event occurring in any parts of the world has direct or indirect effect in the rest of the world. Nepal is rich in natural capitals as well as demographic and cultural diversities. The balanced and sustainable development has to be made to be felt by all ethnic and religious people residing different physiographic zones of Nepal.
