Bhunte,

It seems The Tadartha Samiti was made without enough homework that is why its website is not working, a first sign. Bhunte ji did you check the website before you published it here? What was the content? Long time ago I had seen a proposal with having a similar association of Mahendra Vidya Bhusan Gold (from this year on ward it will be probably called Prachanda Vidya Bhusan) holders association. If the association does not have political color, it can work, but if the officer holders are to use the position to influence in political appointment, I doubt very much for its positive performance. An example, Nepal Engineer's Association is a politically motivated organization whoever wins whether Kangressi Supporters, or UML or Maoist supporters. Such "political" associations come and go, real "professionally motivated" people will not join it.

In current political context, I doubt it is free from ultimate political influence, and therefore, I hardly expect any participation from world's leading Nepali PhD doctors. Don't let any one with PhD degree get membeship in this association, particularly, "honorary PhD", and soon Prachanda will get one honorary degree just the way Gyanendra got from some univ in Russian Federation.

Have fun.

PS

BTW, I would be interested if any Nepali Engineers would be interested in forming a Nepalese Club of Certified Professional Engineers in USA or Worldwide. It should exclude the Nepali Engineers who only has "Registered Engineers" certificate bought at Vending Machine "Council of Engineers, Nepal". Any Nepali with BS / BE in Engineering Degree or AMIE certificate can buy it in NRs. 500.  So, the bottom line requirement for membership should be "the prospective member should have passed a written certfication exam in the country where they live". The club should not accept the engineers who got the certification via simple documentation and evaluation of the submitted docs. One of my former colleague who got AMIE certfication, told that he got one year experience evaluation required for AMIE through his friends who owned the company without going a single day in field or office. Many Nepali Engineers in Nepal get XYZ degrees from UK (correspondence course) by asking their friend to solve the questions on their behalf. It is so called undocumented truth in Nepal, we call it "Open Secret" in Nepal. Soon Maoists will propose B.S. and A.S Deg. in Pressure Cooker Bomb Engineering ... and these members will invade the club.
