‘Generation Now’, an initiation by ‘Nyanopan’, was conducted on July 14, 2018, to bring the youths and the inspirational personalities from the various background in one platform to share their experiences and knowledge to empower the youth,
‘Generation Now’ was basically a talk show on youth empowerment that allowed the youths to interact and share their ideas. They provided a touchstone on how to shape up their career decisions, how to assemble available opportunities with resources in hand and how to execute their ideas into reality. This event was all about inspiring and motivating the youth in their career.
This event was an interactive one where the participants interacted with the speakers and conversed with one another. They had two speakers for the event, Senior Captain Mr. Vijay Lama and Mr. Binod Shahi.
Senior Captain Mr. Vijay Lama is a Nepalese Actor, Motivational Speaker, philanthropist, singer, producer, event manager, and social activist.

The first speaker, Mr. Binod Shahi talked about foreign employment, problems faced by him in Dolpa, how he tackled the problems in the education system in Dolpa. He explained how the government has been making efforts for the development of the rural districts, but the participation of the local is barely seen. He said, “This is our country and it is our duty to work for the development of our nation. If we don’t participate in the process, we will not succeed.”
The presentation was followed by a short video about his lifestyle and work. He had gone to the places where one thought was impossible, thus his team is called “The heroes of the Himalayas.”
Captain Vijay Lama was the second speaker of the event. He presented his speech by introducing himself as a simple Nepali and a proud son of Nepali Aama.
