The Nepal Study Center is created to promote public policy research on Nepal. Its main focus is also knowledge transfer through journal publications, discussions, and faculty and student exchanges. We would appreciate any comments you can provide to help the NSC achieve its goal. Importantly, any help in identifying the source for financial support, including private donors, would be highly appreciated.
Congratulations with the formal launch of the Nepal Study Center. I just spent a good 30 minutes cruising around the website and I am most impressed, well done! It is an important and exciting step for the Nepal studies community, in the US, Europe and even back in Nepal.

I am so thrilled to read an email about the Nepal Study Center at UMN. It is really a great achievement for Nepalis as well as those who love Nepal. As we all know that Nepal is facing troubles from various sides and no one knows the immediate future of the country. I hope a center like this will be able to explore more about Nepal and also open the door for extensive research.
