6th August 2026, Kathmandu

The Tech Bloggers Association of Nepal (TBAN) has partnered with Dursikshya Education Network to lead registration and community engagement for the National School Innovation League (NSIL).

TBAN Drives Nationwide STEM Initiative

Empowering students in Grades 3–10 across all seven provinces with hands-on robotics, IoT kits, and STEM education, TBAN is bridging tech journalism and youth innovation ahead of the nationwide competition culminating in Kathmandu.

The Tech Bloggers Association of Nepal (TBAN), based in New Baneshwor, Kathmandu, has officially launched a major youth-focused STEM initiative in partnership with Dursikshya Education Network.

Formalized through a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed on August 2, 2026 (BS 2083) by TBAN National President Santosh Dhungana and Dursikshya Executive Director Mahesh Aryal, this initiative positions TBAN at the forefront of digital mobilization and robotics education for Nepali students.

Through this collaboration, TBAN serves as the primary Registration Partner for the National School Innovation League (NSIL), bringing hands-on innovation, hardware kits, and competitive robotics to primary and secondary schools across all seven provinces of Nepal.

The TBAN Vision: Bridging Tech Media and Youth Innovation

As Nepal’s leading body of technology writers, digital creators, and tech advocates, TBAN is leveraging its widespread network and media reach to transform how technology education is accessed at the school level.

Rather than focusing solely on digital commentary, TBAN’s initiative actively bridges the gap between theoretical learning and practical hardware innovation.

Core Strategic Objectives of TBAN’s Initiative

Nationwide Student Mobilization: Utilizing TBAN’s digital reach to inform schools, parents, and students across provincial and rural areas about competitive STEM opportunities.

Ethical Digital Enrollment: Facilitating secure, transparent student registrations while upholding strict data privacy standards, particularly given the involvement of minors.

Fostering Local Innovation: Promoting hands-on learning in Internet of Things (IoT), coding, and mechanics across Grades 3 through 10.

Connecting Ecosystems: Linking school-level innovators directly with tech community leaders, bloggers, and industry mentors.
