In response to the Cholera/Diarrhea epidemic in mid-western and far-western regions of Nepal during May-August 2009, NRN-Canada decided to undertake a healthy model village development project in one of the affected communities. Meetings with various stakeholders in Kathmandu and Surkhet (headquarters of the mid-western region) and field visits to some affected communities in October 2009 resulted in selection of Ward No. 2 of Mehentada Village Development Committee (VDC) in Surkhet district as the project target area.

The Nepalis are considered among the newest addition to the Canadian multicultural society. Although still relatively invisible even among the visible minorities, the community has begun being organized through formally registered associations, most of which are now present in some of the major Canadian cities since the late nineties or the beginning of the new millennium.

A Provisional Executive Committee (PEC) established in March 2008 organized first National Convention in August 2008 in Toronto; which then announced the first elected National Coordination Council (NCC).
