The conference aimed to facilitate the discourse to promote the progress of both homeland and host land by identifying the better ways to engage, enable and empower the diaspora community for the betterment of the nation.

In his welcome address, conference coordinator, Deepak Basyal, said that there was a need of such conference to provide a less intimidating forum for all international graduate students to present and promote their research work and to connect their works with the issues of the native lands too. Advisor of NeSA, Dr. Ram Acharya said, such programs play a catalytic role in the attainment of the success of the international community.

The Interim Dean of the Graduate School of the New Mexico State University, Dr. Loui Reyes talked about his future plan of collaborating with the universities in the foreign countries to promote better education and lifelong learning of the students of both the USA and the partner  countries. He emphasized the need and importance of such international conferences to promote awareness of the international community in the US universities..

The presentations made during the conference included investigations of the scholars from six different universities: New Mexico State University, University of Texas at El Paso, University of New Mexico, Texas Tech University, Texas A&M University, and Arizona State University.

He provided an overview  of major Diaspora activities in the world, and gave a detailed analysis of the Nepali Diaspora efforts to support development in Nepal. He stated that Diaspora resources have been under-utilized by both the native countries and host nations, and that both can benefit greatly by mobilizing the Diaspora’s advantages.

The conference touched on the opportunities and obstacles the Diasporas are facing with academic and professional life in a foreign land and the challenges of collaboration with the stakeholders of the country of origin. In addition to that, the conference discussed on how the outcomes of such endeavors and hard work need to be integrated and fine-tuned so that novel strategies can be implemented for the development of the nation.

The conference was attended by about 60 individuals representing  scholars, educators, practitioners and other stakeholders from various parts of the USA represented several youth, professionals and other organizations of Diasporas in America.

Diaspora Knowledge Society : Nepal Study Center, The University of New Mexico

I found a web page maintained by Nepal Study Center (NSC), UNM while I was searching for material related to Nepalese Diaspora for my presentation in upcoming conference organized by Nepalese Student Association, NMSU. I knew about this center but had no idea about its recent research program on Diaspora Knowledge Society. I am very excited to know about this program. NSC has a mission to understand and harness the diaspora knowledge society through digital connectivity, network analysis, empirical research, and socio-economic and behavioral analysis. The center is also offering Diaspora Studies Program (DSP) to promote research and analysis of diaspora population. I especially like the idea of digital connectivity. I hope digital diaspora network would be a wonderful network for us to involve ourselves in the development process of Nepal.
