Description
As every human on the Earth shares a same sky, astronomy is a subject that binds all. In case of Nepal, Astronomy is still a new concept for many people who thinks it is beyond their reach due to several stereotypes like economy, gender and different capabilities.
Nepal Astronomical Society (NASO) had been a working since more then a decade and a half in brining people close to the sky with the power of Astronomy and helping students dream of reaching the Mars and beyond. Thus, my work will present the events NASO had been doing past these years in making astronomy accessible to the Nepali students and public via different capacities. Furthermore, it will focus more on the recent events like 1st Asian Regional IAU Shaw Workshop, 2024; Project Lilac (an approach to bring astronomy to girls from Muslim community, Hearing Impairments, Queer group, Physical disabilities, domestic violence); Project ACEN and Inclusive universe (an approach for visually impaired students). Also, it will highlight on the outreach activities NASO is conducting throughout Nepal and its impact, and on Women in Astronomy Nepal (WIAN).
