Kathmandu. Second generation Non-Resident Nepali (NRNA) coordinator Deepmala Dhakal has won the title of Miss Nepal World-2026. She was selected as the coordinator for the second generation at the unity general convention of the Non-Resident Nepali Association held last Chaitra. The NRNA had made a provision in its statute for the first time through the Chaitra unity general convention to select a coordinator for the second generation (Second Generation Coordinator) with the objective of connecting second-generation NRNS living abroad with Nepal. Accordingly, she expressed her interest, filed her candidacy, and was elected.

In NRNA, 'second generation' refers to children and youth of Nepali origin born or raised abroad who wish to connect with Nepal emotionally, culturally, and organizationally. The NRNA has been conducting various programs with the objective of connecting and attracting the second generation to Nepal. Under this, digital classes are being conducted for the transmission of Nepali language, art, and culture.
