OUR CURRENT PROJECT AND INITIATIVE
People across the world are passing through a grave and unparalleled crisis. The pandemic COVID 19 has put the life of all of us upside down.
People are losing jobs and the possibility of starvation may become a reality for many of our compatriots. The crisis has resulted in people extending help and support to the needy. The Non Resident Nepali community came together to mobilize resources and are requesting people to exhibit compassion (KARUNA) to the needy and also provides the glimmer of hope of fighting this deadly virus.
There has been a territorial map published by the Government of India in October 2019 which wrongly portrays Nepali sovereign territories Kalapani, Lipulekh, and Limpiyadhura as parts of India.
The Western Himalayan Region Map “Constable’s Hand Atlas of India, 1893” clearly established that Kali River marked Kalapani, Lipulekh, and Limpiyadhura as Nepal’s and acknowledged the boundary between India and Nepal. International solidarity is vital against the unfair, unlawful map produced by India.
It is a common belief that as we move towards a society in which the medium of teaching is English, we tend to move away from our mother tongue. Learning Nepali for 2nd generation children is crucial in enhancing other skills such as critical thinking and skills.
It boosts one’s confidence and creates awareness in the individual’s mind while also helping them connect with their cultural identity in a better manner. NRNA Scotland is committed to promote Nepali classes and support with any resources and guidance.
NRNA Scotland was established to unite all Non-Resident Nepali (NRNs) people and Nepalese organizations throughout Scotland under one umbrella organization to form a unified and institutional movement to achieve the mutual benefit between all NRNs and people of Nepali origin in Scotland.
Currently NRNs in Scotland have issues of dual citizenship, property rights, citizenship for our new generation in Nepal. The only way we can secure these rights is by producing a unified voice and pressure group.
