First NGS Monthly Lecture Series

Nepal Geotechnical Society has planned to hold “Monthly Lecture Series” on various geotechnical engineering and related topics every month. The main purpose of having these lectures is to disseminate and exchange geotechnical engineering knowledge among all interested , while it is also important to create a forum for our geotechnical engineer members as well as non-members to learn about the basic practices in the field of geotechnical engineering, especially in context of increasing civil engineering infrastructure projects in the country. So, as a part of this lecture series, we are going to have the first lecture program on the below date and time. We invite and request you all to participate in this program and interact with the lecturers as well as participants. The program details are as follows.
