The Research Management Cell of Bishwa Shanti Chiran-Milan Campus is going to organize an international conference on “Peace and security concern of Nepal and Role of Nepali Diaspora” on Jan 20 in Kathmandu.

The conference will be held in hybrid (online and in-person) mode .The conference includes a mix of keynote speeches or addresses, panel discussion, and paper presentations. The first session of the conference will be formal and the second session will cover paper presentation, panel discussion and final session will be certificate and memento handover.

The conference is relevant as a look into three main issues. Firstly, it aims to elucidate the concept of a small state to seek to define; secondly, it delves into exploring the security challenges that Nepal faces as a small state and; finally, the conference seeks to suggest or recommend addressing the challenges. Realizing the paucity of substantial research regarding security threats to Nepal in the changed global and regional security domain, this conference attempts to address the existing limitation.

 The conference is expected to strengthen the research culture in academic institutions like community campuses and introduce the fundamental characteristics of small states and analyze how Nepal fits into the picture. The event will illuminate the primary security threats, both internal and external, confronting Nepal in the changed domestic and international scenario and explore the possible strategies Nepal can take to effectively deal with the security threats. It will also help to establish the public relation among the researcher/academician.

The convener of the conference Satya Raj Joshi said, “The event will bring together leading experts, researchers, academicians and professionals from around the world to share insights, exchange knowledge, and discuss the latest advancements in the sector of peace promotion and security concern.”

The participants will get the opportunity to observe the session as they interact, share their views regarding research subject matter. The conference will be conducted through a participatory approach.
