Our Story

Scholar Nepal is a Digital Journal to encourage reading, researching and writing culture in Nepal. It is the first and only free platform based in Nepal where users can post their blogs, stories, articles, thoughts, poems, and about anything of interest. Scholar Nepal is an open source and open access platform designed to encourage reading and writing habits, and a common place for researchers to find resources related to Nepal.

We believe that everyone has the ability to research and write in their own personal capacity. Authors can be academic and professional researchers in their field, a student conducting project work, a professional writing on their area of expertise, or think-tanks and thought leaders who write commentaries and thought papers. Writers can also be creative minds writing poems, stories, blogs or essays. Scholar Nepal, a digital journal, will enable people to expand their knowledge base and foster their writing and research skills.

Why Scholar Nepal?

Scholar Nepal – Digital Journals – was initiated to create a Nepal-based online publication platform to facilitate and publish written work. Many international resources require paid membership, which becomes difficult and costly for Nepalis to afford. As Nepalis use international blogging platforms and publications due to lack of options in Nepal, it disperse knowledge whereby Nepali readers and researchers are not able to access such international platforms. This is mainly due to subscription model and numerous platforms that may not be known in Nepal. By creating a digital publication platform solely dedicated to Nepal, interested readers, writers and researchers are aware of  the go to website for information related to Nepal. This platform is created to provide information on Nepal as an open source published by the author.
