Regina (Canada), October 31- The founding moderator of nepaldalitinfo international network Dr. Drona Rasali has been actively taking on his new role as an Advisor of Non-Resident Nepalis- Canada (NRN-Canada) in its National Coordination Council. Dr. Rasali was named one of the two advisors of the National Coordination Council during its first National Convention held in Toronto on August 23-24, 2008, along with the other Advisor Dr. Kunjar Sharma, who is the Honorary Consul General of Nepal to Canada.

Speaking as a guest speaker in an interaction on the NRN issues held recently in Calgary city, Dr Rasali said that historically Gautam Buddha could be the first well-known NRN who gained divine knowledge and enlightenment in India after he left his country more than 2,500 years ago. The development of Non- Resident Nepali Association (NRNA), however, was connected with FNCCI (The Federation of Nepalese Chambers of Commerce and Industry) which attracted NRNs around the world for investment and socioeconomic development in the country. He also highlighted some of the events and activities that are currently being carried out by NRNA globally and Canada. In Canada, Census 2006 recognized Nepalese people for the first time as a distinct ethnic group, even though the population of Nepalese reported from the Census sample seemed to be underestimated. He realized that the understanding and cooperation of Nepalese people living across Canada was phenomenal. There are hurdles and challenges ahead but Dr Rasali appeared more optimistic for achieving NRN’s goals. Click here for >>> More on this story .
