The Nepal Geological Students’ Society (NGSS) successfully conducted a Geology Awareness Program at Shri Bhringeshwar Secondary School in Bijulikot, Ramechhap, reaching students in Grades 8, 9, and 10.
The program was designed to cultivate foundational knowledge of Earth sciences among young learners while emphasizing the practical relevance of geology in everyday life.
Interactive sessions covered essential topics, including the structure of the Earth, the rock cycle, rock formation processes, and the major types of rocks, presented clearly and engagingly. Students also explored the significance of geology in daily contexts, the mechanisms behind natural hazards such as earthquakes and landslides, appropriate safety measures during such events, and key strategies for disaster risk reduction.
A notable highlight was the discussion that connected local geological features, including regional rock formations, landscape characteristics, and natural processes, to broader Earth science frameworks. This approach encouraged students to understand their surroundings from a scientific perspective, fostering curiosity and deeper learning.
Initiatives of this nature are instrumental in nurturing interest in Earth sciences, raising fundamental awareness of natural hazards, and inspiring students to pursue academic and professional careers in geology.
The society extends its sincere gratitude to the respected principal Mr. Harish Chandra Mahat, the dedicated faculty members, and the school administration for their invaluable support.

Under the theme “From Outcrop to Turf — Bridging Generations Through Sport and Geology,” this event provides a unique platform for undergraduate students, postgraduate students, and NGSS alumni to reconnect, engage in friendly competition, and forge lasting memories together.
We cordially invite all eligible members to participate in celebrating the camaraderie, continuity, and collective identity that define the NGSS family.
For event details, registration link, and contact information, kindly refer to the accompanying poster.
As part of this collaborative initiative, two flagship programs were conducted:
- Symposium on Groundwater Matters
- Technical Workshop on Practical Challenges in Groundwater Development
These events brought together students, emerging researchers, and seasoned professionals, providing a dynamic platform for rigorous intellectual exchange, technical skill development, and meaningful dialogue on critical issues in groundwater science and sustainable water resource management.
The symposium facilitated in-depth discussions on groundwater sustainability, while the workshop provided participants with practical insights into the multifaceted challenges of groundwater development, particularly in the Nepalese context.
We extend our profound gratitude to all resource persons, distinguished speakers, participants, and supporting organizations whose invaluable contributions were instrumental in the success of these programs. Their collective expertise and engagement significantly enriched the discourse and strengthened the spirit of interdisciplinary collaboration.
The three organizing societies, NGS, NHA, and NGSS, remain steadfast in their shared commitment to advancing groundwater science and promoting sustainable water resource management practices across Nepal.
We sincerely appreciate your continued support and participation.
The Nepal Geological Society, Nepal Hydrogeological Association, and Nepal Geological Students’ Society jointly present National Water Week 2026, scheduled to take place from 19–21 March 2026 in Kathmandu, Nepal.
Under the theme “Groundwater Matters: Securing Water Futures from Beneath Our Feet,” this event underscores the indispensable role of groundwater in sustaining millions of lives across Nepal and ensuring long-term water security.
