It critically examines its performance against the Mission Statement embodied in its constitution. It argues that the capacity of NRNs to contribute to Nepal&#8217;s socio-economic development remains grossly underutilized. The lack of government support for NRNA initiatives and NRNA leadership&#8217;s reluctance to assert the organization&#8217;s strength in its dealing with the government has compromised NRNA&#8217;s effectiveness. The acquiescence of NRNA to the intrusion of political parties in the election of its leadership is a growing problem. It is time for NRNA to review its performance over the years and make critical structural changes to realize its mission. Some of such changes are recommended.<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: blue;\">Speaker&#8217;s Bio:<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt;\">Naresh has been involved in NRNA since its beginning in 2013. He was Canada&#8217;s first NRNA ICC representative. Later he became the Regional Coordinator of the Americas. Naresh was a committee member in NRNA&#8217;s first constitution drafting committee. His contribution to NRNA&#8217;s dual-citizenship efforts is highly regarded. He was instrumental in writing NRN Canada&#8217;s constitution and also helped NRN Canada get registered with the government of Canada. He has been Chair of NRNA&#8217;s Public Libraries Task Force since 2011. Under his leadership, the Nepal Library Foundation assisted in establishing 232 libraries across the country and worked with the Open Learning Exchange, a Nepal-based NGO, to establish Nepal&#8217;s first digital library -epustakalaya. Naresh led the Infrastructure session of the Global Knowledge Conference held in Kathmandu in 2018. He is not active in NRNA anymore, but still takes a keen interest in its development. <\/span><\/h3>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/forms\/d\/e\/1FAIpQLScnTJ_ZoEmZIr-i5epemfY06ROhId01lpLj8hjnHdf8gflzDA\/viewform\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Click To Register<\/a><\/h3>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: right;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/necase.ca\/newsite\/community\/edmonton-chautari\/edmonton-chautari-season-2021-2022\/\">Go To Season: 2020-2021 Poster<\/a><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Go To Season: 2020-2021 Poster Presentation Title: NRNA After Eighteen Years &nbsp; Speaker: Mr. Naresh Koirala Koirala is a geotechnical consultant in Vancouver, Canada &nbsp; Date\/Time: April 22, 2022 (7:30 PM MST) [UPDATED] &nbsp; Short Description: This presentation looks at NRNA from its beginning in 2013 to the present.
