Study, research and teaching
Work across law, history, geopolitics and economics — and teaching what we learn, so the knowledge reaches the people it affects, not only the researchers.

Build New Nepal through civic action.
A registered, non-partisan social organisation. We study how Nepal is governed, bring young citizens into democratic practice, and carry public complaints to the institutions that have to answer them.

What we work on
Four commitments that guide everything we do.
Not a mission statement drafted for a website — these are the commitments we registered and are held accountable for. Each one is work, not a slogan.
Youth in democratic practice
Bringing young people into civic consciousness, voter rights and the everyday practice of democracy.
Scrutiny of government
Investigation, analysis and commentary on government work, policy and rules — read through the public interest.
Working for a stronger society
Partnering with organisations that share our goals to strengthen communities — adding to good work already underway, never duplicating it.
Why you can trust this
No member of this organisation may belong to a political party.
That is not a promise — it is an eligibility condition in our own constitution, alongside the requirement that members have no conviction involving moral turpitude and no record of misusing public property. An organisation that scrutinises government has to be able to prove it is not working for one.
AboutWritten into our constitution
- A Nepali citizen
- Eighteen years of age or older
- Of sound mind
- No record of misusing public property
- No conviction for corruption or an offence involving moral turpitude
- Not a member of any political party
- Genuinely interested in social work
Public accountability
Seen corruption, neglect, or a service that failed you? Report it.
You don't need your name, and you don't need proof — just tell us what happened. We record every report and carry it to the office that has to answer for it. Speaking up is where accountability begins.
What you can report
- Corruption or misuse of public money
- A public office that ignored, delayed, or mistreated you
- A local service that failed — roads, water, waste, electricity
- Feedback on our own work
- You can file anonymously. Leave the contact fields empty and we will have no way to identify you.
- You will get a reference code. Save it — it is the only way to check your complaint later, and we cannot recover it for you.
Our work
What the organisation does.
Civic awareness sessions
Sessions with young people on voter rights, how local government actually works, and what a citizen can require of a public office.
Research and study circles
Small, regular reading and research groups on law, history, geopolitics and economics — the base that the published work comes out of.
Policy analysis and commentary
Written analysis of government decisions, rules and budgets, in plain language, aimed at people the decision affects rather than at specialists.
Publications
Articles, research papers and civic briefings.
