NRNA UK to Launch Annual Souvenir ‘NRN Voice’ at Nepal House Charity Dinner

LONDON – The Non-Resident Nepali Association (NRNA) UK is set to release its annual souvenir publication during the Nepal House Charity Dinner – 2, scheduled for Monday, 26 December, in Aldershot.

The highly anticipated magazine, titled ‘NRN Voice,’ is being launched to coincide with the festive occasions of Christmas and New Year 2017. While NRNA UK previously published a newsletter named ‘NRN Patra’ back in 2013, this new publication marks a significant step forward in the organisation’s media activities.

Khusi Limbu, Coordinator of the NRNA UK Publication and Publicity Department, expressed confidence that ‘NRN Voice’ will be the most inclusive, in-depth, and popular publication in the history of the chapter.

The souvenir features nearly 40 engaging pieces across various categories:

• NRN Movement: Insights from prominent figures including Ram Pratap Thapa, Kumar Pant, Dr Hem Raj Sharma, Dr Pramod Dhakal, Dr Krishna Upadhyaya, Phadindra Bhattarai, and Chiron Sharma.

Organisation Updates and Availability

The souvenir also includes updates on NRNA UK’s activities from the President, General Secretary, Deputy General Secretary, and Spokesperson. Additionally, Yog Phagami, Rajesh Pathak, and Biswas Deep Tigela provide detailed insights regarding the ongoing Nepal House Project.

The magazine is a bilingual publication, featuring content in both English and Nepali. To maintain high editorial standards and maximise informative content, advertisements have been kept to a minimum.

According to the Editor-in-Chief, Khusi Limbu, a support fee of £5 has been set to cover production costs. However, as a gesture of gratitude, copies of ‘NRN Voice’ will be provided free of charge to all advertisers and contributing writers attending the Charity Dinner.
