On behalf of the Nepal Development Society (NeDS) family, Namaste and welcome to our website.

Ever since its establishment in 2013, NeDS has committed itself to community-based research activities. It is a matter of pride to let you know that various research projects accomplished by NeDS have also produced a handful of Ph.D. graduates. I feel honored to be working for NeDS, which is continuing its growth as a successful NGO in Nepal, where initiatives taken by dedicated youth are developing a healthy community.

Currently, NeDS has many ongoing projects, the details of which you are invited to explore on this website. For many years, NeDS has been conducting multiple kinds of innovative research on non-communicable diseases, the results of which have been successfully disseminated to the relevant authorities and may contribute to policy-making in the country.

NeDS has also worked in the field of waste management and has succeeded in bringing the waste problem to the community’s attention. As an outcome, many households have pledged to reduce, reuse, and recycle their waste and have started composting biodegradable waste at their residences.

When relief was needed during the 2015 earthquake, NeDS helped the affected villagers in strategic ways that were both sustainable and life-saving. When there was an urgent need for a COVID-19 response in the country, the NeDS family worked wholeheartedly to help the community by providing accurate information through the website, educating female community health volunteers about COVID-19, and introducing toll-free phone numbers for free consultation and support. During the pandemic, NeDS also launched the innovative Helmet Doctor project, through which community members received physician consultations and their regular medication at their doorstep, minimizing the need to travel to the city for check-ups or medicine purchases.

I strongly believe that the enthusiasm to work for community members and the zealous interest to serve society in whatever constructive way NeDS can—and successfully accomplish the tasks at hand—convey our deep dedication to building a better world for the Nepalese people.

As you browse through our website, I hope you will sense the endeavors of Nepal Development Society, reflecting our pride, expertise, reliability, and passion.
