We have observed a milestone change in demographic structure in Census 2021 result. Migration is one of the three components of population change. Both internal and international migration have been equally important and have a significant impact on Nepali lives. In this context, stepping into “school of migration studies” is timely as well as right decision that will have an enormous contribution to make more and more people understand the dynamics of impact of the migration in the contemporary Nepali society.

We are excited to officially launch online registration for the School of Migration Studies! Students, practitioners and academics can join us on a journey of discovery into the important field of migration, a topic, so crucial to Nepal and its development.

I express sincere appreciation to IOM and CDPS faculty for formalizing this partnership. The Migration School offers a valuable opportunity to advance migration research and policy in Nepal. Through knowledge gained and research conducted, we aim to mainstream evidence-based policies, fostering dialogue and sustainable development among government, academia, and practitioners.
