Over the past five decades, the British government has funded studies in Great Britain for Nepalese students and scholars under schemes administered through the British Council. These schemes have covered many fields important for the development of Nepal. The Association of British Alumni in Nepal covers the whole range of specialization and will provide a forum for building on these studies as well as increasing the professional and cultural relationship between Nepal and Britain. The registered office of this Association is located at the British Council, Lazimpat, Kathmandu. This association is an autonomous body, which will have the authority to acquire properties, collect funds etc. It reserves the right to protect its name and property.
