Many great strides await the path of SOHAM-Nepal. The future of the society may be analogous to that of the nation itself, which has spent so many years dreaming of prosperous life based on the exploitation of the vast water resources and yet marginally materialized. It is the members who decide how the society is to be driven. And if wise hands drive this society it might become the very reason that the ultimate dream of the nation comes true. The society pledges your active participation, support and contribution.
