Nepal Geotechnical Society (NGS) was established in the pursuit of strengthening progressive national cooperation, enhancing exchange of information on research and developments in geotechnical engineering, geosciences, and other geo-related fields, and committing to the welfare of Nepal and the human society. It was formally registered with the Government of Nepal in May 1994 (BS: Jestha 2051). In about a year from the establishment, NGS was affiliated with the International Society for Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering (ISSMGE), the world forum for the geotechnical engineers and professionals, as one of the Asian member national societies.
