History

A need for a professional networking organization, which provides a forum for educators, researchers and scholars to promote, encourage and sustain interests in mathematics/statistics through the networking with mathematicians from Nepal, was realized in 2008. An initial discussion held between young energetic Nepali mathematicians Deepak Basyal and Santosh Bhattarai to form a forum was ended up with the inception of ANMA. In May 8, 2010, a ten members Ad-hoc committee co-ordinated by Durga Jung KC was formed to facilitate the by-laws writing, registration process and establishment of the association. The committee hold an election via telephone conference in January 22, 2011 to form a working committee for 2011-2013. The ANMA formally registered in the office of the secretary of state, Indiana in March 14, 2011.
