Previous six international conferences organized by NeSA were highly successful in bringing the Nepali and international experts together, according to Conference Coordinator Rishi R Sapkota.
Diasporas of many countries have played important role in the political and socio-economic development of their homelands. However, the Nepali Diaspora's contribution is seen mainly only in remittance generation.
“The conference aims to debunk this view by bringing scholars together from NMSU and the neighboring universities and providing them a receptive platform to showcase their scholarly contributions,” he said.
Organizers said Assistant Professor at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine Dr Gyanu Lamichhane will be the key-note speaker at the conference. Other notable speakers at the conference will be Dr Doleshwor Bhandari (University of New Mexico), Dr. Ramesh Giri (University of New Mexico), Dr Basant Giri (Kathmandu Institute of Applied Sciences, Nepal), Dr William Quintana, Head, Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry and Dr Cornell Menking, Provost, International Border program.
