Dear valued members of the Nepal Physical Society,
On behalf of the executive committee, I extend warm greetings and heartfelt congratulations to all members and well wishers of NPS. It is my honor and privilege to serve as the president of the Nepal Physical Society (NPS) third time for the 2024-2026 tenure. I also take this opportunity to recognize and appreciate the hard work and dedication of all members. Your efforts in promoting research, fostering a community of passionate researchers, and advancing our understanding of physics have been invaluable.
NPS, founded in 1984, is one of the oldest and pioneer scientific and professional societies in Nepal with seven chapters across all seven provinces. Currently, the society has more than 1500 life members. The society has been conducting seminars, workshops and different scientific activities with invited speakers from around the world. The society has organized NePho-nationwide competitions to participate in IPho-2025, including training and classes for secondary level students for the competition. The society has been publishing a biannual journal named as “Journal of Nepal Physical Society”.
NPS is an Associate Territory Member of the International Union of Pure and Applied Physics (IUPAP). NPS is also a member of the Association of Asia Pacific Physical Societies and has a reciprocal relationship with the American Physical Society dating back to 1995. Furthermore, the memorandum of understanding between NPS and the Association of Nepali Physicists in America is also a positive development. NPS is celebrating 2025 as International year of Quantum science and Technology to recognizes 100 years since the initial development of quantum mechanics.
As we face the challenges of the 21st century, it is more important than ever that we continue to support scientific research and development. The work of the Nepal Physical Society is a shining example of the transformative power of science, and I encourage you to continue your excellent work in promoting scientific research and development in Nepal. Your efforts to foster collaboration and interdisciplinary research are critical to ensuring that Nepal remains at the forefront of scientific discovery. Your participation in the monthly talks, conferences, workshops, and seminars have enabled researchers and scholars to share their knowledge, discuss new findings, and explore innovative ideas. Your contributions to the field of physics have been instrumental in advancing scientific research and development in Nepal. The work that you do in exploring new frontiers of physics has the potential to change the way we see the world around us and inspire future generations of scientists and researchers.
In this regard, I want to reaffirm my commitment to supporting the work of the society, and to ensuring that we have the resources and tools that we need to continue to thrive. Whether it is through providing access to research, teaching, outreach efforts, and fostering connections between physicists in Nepal and globally, I believe that we have a crucial role to play in shaping the future of physics and promoting scientific discovery.
Sincerely,
