It is with great pride that I acknowledge the society\u2019s recognition in Nepal and globally, thanks to its activities and international representation in ISSMGE and various forums.\u00a0<span style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\">Geotechnical Engineering, a vital aspect of civil engineering, focuses on the design and study of structures situated on or beneath the ground level. Given Nepal\u2019s geography, with its towering young mountains and its location in a seismically active zone, it becomes even more crucial to consider geotechnical parameters.<\/span><span style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\">Unfortunately, this profession is often overlooked in Nepal, leading to numerous challenges in infrastructure development. Consequently, our infrastructure lacks sustainability in terms of both lifespan and functionality. It is imperative that we unite to promote geotechnical professionalism, empower our members, and raise awareness about its importance to the government. I am fully aware of these challenges and will make every effort to fulfill my responsibilities to the best of my abilities. We have lunched our two-year plan\/goals and work accordingly.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President&#8217;s Message Assoc.
