Miss Nepal USA is happening once again in the city that never sleeps with the special appearance of Miss Nepal 2011 Malina Joshi. Miss Nepal USA has done a great job so far bringing young Nepalese American girls together in the common platform. Beginning with the 2011 show, Miss Nepal USA has traveled through a unique journey of several achievements, scandals, fights and cultural revolution. The pageant has led to a creation of new generation of Nepalese in America called Nepalese Americans who are leading the way in American society in different fields now.

Finalists

Sailes Shrestha, who is among the chief organizers along with Amit Shah, is working very hard in establishing the pageant in the international arena. Especially, with the tremendous show of Mr and Miss Nepal Australia pageant led by Shesh Ghale and his MIT team in Australia, organizers have a tremendous challenge ahead in making this event competitive in America. Sailes Shrestha told us that they already have 15 finalists with participants from as far as Hawaii,USA.

Shrestha also informed us that Malina Joshi will be appearing for the training and encouragement of young Nepalese girls here in USA. Malina Joshi definitely represents the new generation Nepalese youths of Nepal and could definitely be a great agent to connect Nepalese Americans youths with new generation Nepalese youths of Nepal. We are hoping that her contribution will be of an extra-ordinary one.

Sailes Shrestha has appealed all the Nepalese Americans on the behalf the organizing team to encourage their talented daughters, sisters or friends to give it a chance at Miss Nepal USA happening in New York and promote our culture throughout the world for the inspiration of Nepalese throughout the world. CEO Amit Shah has reiterated his commitment in making the event fair and impartial to the fullest extent.

There’s an increasing trend of Nepalese population influx into America in the recent days. More than that, the number of new generation Americans of Nepalese origin is growing in the outskirts of the American continent. The greatest need of the time is to find a way to bring these people together so that they can benefit from the mainstream Nepalese community of America and vice- versa. Miss Nepal USA has been able to accomplish few things in uniting different generations that NRN-America failed to do.

On the other hand, Nepalese in Australia and UK are growing in numbers everyday. We need to build an international community that brings all the new generation Nepalese outside and inside Nepal together. The global web definitely facilitates that possibility. The recent developments in Nepalese Australian community is of great importance. There’s is a future chance of co-ordination and co-operation between Nepalese Australians, Nepalese Americans and Nepalese British. This will probably happen only through events like Miss Nepal USA.

The pageant is gaining tremendous momentum right now in the entire United States. The participants are using fundraising sites like gofundme in order to arrange application fee and other expenses. In the last years, the Miss Nepal USA participants have made the best use of these fundraising sites. This process has made it easier for young girls to arrange finances. Several businesses in and outside New York are also sponsoring Miss Nepal USA pageant. Businessman like Samir Maharjan and social activists like Shree Parajuli are among the greatest supporters of the pageant since its inception.
