Non-Resident Nepali Association (NRNA) was established on 11 October 2003 as a non-profit organization to unite the Nepali Diaspora under a single platform. In the course of completing 17 years of its existence, NRNA is developing into a global organization. It has created a strong network of Nepali living around the world through the establishment of National Coordination Councils (NCCs) in eighty-two countries. Since its inception, NRNA is strengthened tremendously due to diversity of skills, knowledge and resources possessed by its members.
