As Sajha has been a common platform for Nepalese in the US and overseas, it should also initiate an application or a registration (for free please!) where Nepalese can register themselves with minimal information. The data should be limited to Name, Age group (no DOB to protect against internet fraud), City and State, profession category and residence in the US since.
The 2010 census of US Government will indeed give us some data but it may or may not be accurate. Therefore, it is high time we have this figured out through ourselves.
Data will be extremely useful in terms of social networking, campaigning for Local Nepali Community Center across the US based on the population density, getting government grant and support to establish temples and shrines, targetting Nepali population at large in terms of access to health care, education, immigration assistance, employment support and job listings. Additionally, the Nepali Organisations spread across the US can use the data to plan and generate economic upliftment programmes for our community through skill development trainings, language trainings, administrative support, Nepali Language Classes for American Nepalese children, organisation Nepalese Trade Fairs etc.
We, the users, can take up some of our time and spread the word to our community. Apart from registering on Sajha site, we can also persuade others through providing links to the registration form at Facebook, Myspace, Linkedin etc.
