About Society of Agricultural Scientists Nepal

The agricultural scientists have been actively contributing to the advancement of agricultural science, ensuring food and nutrition security, and promoting agrobiodiversity conservation. The pursuit of excellence in agriculture requires the collaboration of various organizations and societies. Agricultural scientists strive to stay engaged and up-to-date with knowledge and technology, despite encountering challenges in their work. A collective approach is generally deemed most effective in achieving success in agricultural science. In line with this, the Society of Agricultural Scientists, Nepal (SAS-Nepal) was conceived and established in 1995 by scientists from the Nepal Agricultural Research Council (NARC). SAS-Nepal serves as a professional organization, providing a common platform for agricultural scientists and researchers across Nepal and abroad, spanning various agricultural and related institutions and fields. It officially registered with the District Administration Office in Lalitpur on June 05, 1995, with registration no. 490/051/52. SAS-Nepal is a non-governmental, non-political, and non-profit organization dedicated to guiding the nation in matters of agriculture, with its activities spanning the entire country.

Aim

The SAS-Nepal aims to bring agricultural scientists and researchers of Nepal to a common forum by way of protecting their professional integrity and improving the standard of their research works to contribute to a common goal of the country’s economic development through the growth of the agricultural sector.
