Nepalese Students’ Association (NeSA), New Mexico State University (NMSU) is pleased to invite you to submit presentation and poster proposals for its Eighth International Conference entitled “Role of Diaspora for Sustainable Homeland”.

Conference aims

Recently, Nepal was hit by catastrophic earthquake. In addition to this, Nepal has been suffering from continuous political instability and lack of good governance. The NeSA Eighth International Conference focuses on these topics and seeks some views and ideas about how Diaspora can contribute to the Homeland and make it sustainable from different ways such as tourism, alternative energy, agriculture, education and many more. Along with this, the conference aims to provide a platform for scholars to present their academic research, views and ideas. Keeping this in mind, the aims of this conference are:

• To bring diversity through scholars from different departments of NMSU as well as different universities and countries.
• To bringing positive changes by sharing knowledge.
• To sustain one’s own homeland.
• To involve local community and inform them about ongoing researches in which graduate and undergraduate students are involved.

Thus, this International Conference entitled “Role of Diaspora for Sustainable Homeland” focuses to include all subjects like science, engineering, technology, women studies, education, economics, homeland, culture and many more. We are inviting local community to enlighten and provide them a brief overview of diverse research in which students at NMSU and different universities are involved. Interested graduate as well as undergraduate students from different disciplines are invited and encouraged to present their ongoing research studies and related literature. One of the key ideas here is to bring diversity in the conference and present our research to the local community, faculty, and students.
