First of all, I would like to express my sincere thanks and appreciation to all of you for your support and confidence in me and my new Executive committee members. I welcome the opportunity to serve as your President of NPPA in this most challenging economic environment. I think we, as NPPA, must differentiate ourselves from other institutions. Considering this fact, the other executive committee members which include First Vice President Mrs. Saroj Prajapati, Second Vice President Mr. Sundar Rajbhandari, General Secretary Mr. Raju Joshee, and Treasurer Mrs. Beena Baidya joined me with renewed energy to integrate and execute NPPA's organizational goals and activities. Mrs. Shanti Shrestha joined Executive Committee as member for Dabu Publication. This new executive committee will take social, cultural, and financial responsibilities to better serve our community and to strengthen NPPA. We strongly believe in the saying “together we can make a difference”. This is our “motto”; this is our “inspiration”.
