The Ministry of Education, Science and Technology is preparing to mark the National Science Day on Ashoj 1 (September 17). Various programmes would be organised to highlight the progress the country made in science, technology and innovation. The programmes would be organised even for the adoption of science diplomacy to import the technology and innovation in Nepal.

At a press conference organized at the Ministry on Monday, Secretary Dr Suresh Acharya informed that the celebration of the Day would share information on research on Nepal's science and technology. The innovators involved in scientific research would be encouraged and promoted with awards.
