2nd National Conference on Research and Development

2^nd National Conference on Research and Development
10^th – 11^th April 2020 (28-29 Chaitra 2076)

Background

Southwestern Centre for Research and PhD Studies (PhD Centre) was set up in 2010 as part of the endeavours of nationally and internationally recognized scholars, researchers, intellectuals and development experts, who will constitute its faculty with a commitment to reconstruct and socially transform society in Nepal and thereby around the world through academic and development endeavours built on the long journey of rural reconstruction. Since its inception, the Centre has been actively engaged in connecting researchers globally through joint research, conferences/workshops on burning issues, training, publishing journal articles, and networking/partnering with various universities (both national and international), government agencies, and other development agencies

The Centre has started an innovative programme of developing trainers/facilitators in local areas who could train and motivate local leaders and community people as well. Local level government such as metropolitan or sub-metropolitan cities, municipalities and village development committees, local NGOs or individuals may contact the Centre to participate in this initiative. Through this initiative, we develop competent human resources required for the local levels on training and facilitation, project development and fundraising, leadership and management, participatory planning, monitoring and evaluation, consensus building, conducting meeting effectively, and motivating local communities.

Every year, Southwestern Centre for Research and PhD Studies hosts Conference on Research and Development and similar themes. First National Conference on Research and Development was held on November 30 – December 1, 2018 in Kathmandu, Nepal. We invite participants belonging to various themes. The purpose of the gathering is to bring together and connect committed, innovative practitioners representing different themes of social change, and to highlight projects that are making a difference in the quality of life of people all over the world through research and development.
