Nepal: Anthropologists, sociologists urged to build country

"Anthropologists should actively cooperate in the building of new Nepal", Subash Chandra Nembang said at the three-day international seminar on 'social science in a multi-cultural world', organized by the Nepal Sociological and Anthropological Society (NSAS).

"It is sad that most of the projects run in Nepal do not have participation of sociologists and anthropologists", he said. Secretary of the Society Bhanu Timsina said the sector has been under shadows as the planners have not realized the utility of the sociologists and anthropologists, according to the website The Rising Nepal.

Unfortunately, neither the conference nor the organisation seems to have a website. Digital Divide?
