Dr. Hemraj Sharma Announces Candidacy for NRNA Presidency with Tech-Focused Agenda

Kathmandu. Dr. Hemraj Sharma has announced his candidacy for the post of President of the Non-Resident Nepali Association (NRNA) for its 12th General Assembly. Through a virtual program on Sunday, the current Vice President, Dr. Sharma, unveiled a 13-point agenda, pledging to make the organization unified, technology-friendly, and free from politics. 

Professor Dr. Sharma, based at the University of Liverpool in the UK, stated that new leadership with innovative vision is necessary to restore the tarnished reputation of the NRNA and connect the second generation with Nepal.
For the elections scheduled to be held in Kathmandu from March 14 to 16, Dr. Sharma has put forward plans such as a system where all registered members can vote directly online, membership verification through AI technology, and the formation of professional and academic councils. 

He committed to ensuring the continuity of citizenship by descent, the right to vote from abroad, and strong advocacy with the government for the social security of workers employed overseas. His manifesto also mentions ensuring 33 percent female participation in the organization's leadership and making philanthropic work sustainable through the NRNA Foundation.
Previously, another Vice President, Robin Sherchan, had announced his candidacy for the NRNA presidency.
