program. Copy right is the right of the creators and authors which is
protected by domestic laws and International treaties and conventions.
The central theme of the program was to introduce the significance of

understanding to the Intellectual property, and Copyright. This
program has boosted the commitment up towards the development of the
program in an effective way. The program has not only acted as
platform for legal practitioners, but it has also helped exchanging
idea amongst the scholar and legal practitioners. The program was also
taken as an effective platform. Being a lawyer the awareness should be
highlighted to common people it is challenged to face but it is
responsible for being social engineer as well as the citizen. ALDeRLS
Nepal convened a one day program as long as to address this current
issue in Nepal.

Impact of the program:
The meeting highlighted the importance of the
Copyright Law and its significance in building nation. It also
emphasized about the improvement of the national economic, social and
cultural development processes. The institution will provide a unique
opportunity for all to contribute to the emerging debate on the value
of intellectual property in Nepal as well as in global society. The
program plays the great role in the lawyer's community. A person has
right to consume a quality and original creativity of their choice is
their Right. The publisher and the sole agent company will infringe
the law in any time. The safeguarding agency and social engineer
should protect the public right. So the interaction program and
Copyright day could be the milestone in Nepal for the sake of
protection and promotion of the creators' right. The participants did
praise the program very well. The ALDeRLS Nepal generates new idea
upon this program to initiate a specific education is much necessary
to legal practitioners.
Challenges:
Several Nepalese people are still unaware about
the Copyright. Creator's rights are violated by newcomers e.g.
Artists, Creators, Authors etc.
Legal Institutions are still unaware about the
Copyright Act.
Lack of law abiding institution.
Recommendation/Conclusion:
The creators are the heritage of the nation they
can design the society of the enlightened civilization. The ALDeRLS
Nepal tries to recommend some of the serious factors in Copyright. It
is not possible for only the Nepal Copyright Registrar Office to check
and balance the entire Copyright Act. The current program of the
interaction which has raised the voice of the problems that needs to
be solved is not possible through a single effort. If these things are
corrected or improved, it could become possible to solve the Copyright
and its legal anomalies.

Toughness jobs of the nation:
On the ALDeRLS Nepal's opinion,
election of constituent assembly, Electoral system and Federal system
is tough job to be done. It has own procedural parts and political
parts are complex and be mutual exclusive together is not easy to
workout. So the program was created very good impact in the legal
community. It was helped to restore and reconstruction of New Nepal
which would be very helpful for peace keeping in the indigenous
community. The political parties were found not only agreed from the
form of the constitutionalism but also satisfied with constitutional
assembly without meaning. The program has not only for social engineer
among society but also helped to restore their social harmony and
relationship. This institution role will be the milestone to fulfill
the gaps. The program has become one of the highly appreciated and
demanded programs both in villages and cities as well as all over the
nation.
Impacts of the Program:
The program plays the great role in the
lawyer's community as well as nation building. People themselves are
Judge in their Rights. The seven party alliances make the very good
environment for the nation building. So the constitution assembly
election program was famous in Nepal. The participants members are
appreciated this program very well. Even though civic education is
need to address them as well.
Challenges:
Many Nepalese peoples are still ignorant
about the constitutional assembly election and its working process.
They also think that it is only the general election.
Many government officials are still
unaware about the constitutional assembly, electoral system and
federalism so they are not cooperating as requires.
Recommendation/Conclusion:
The current program provides a good
lesson that, there are many areas where found in the interaction
program. The financing and partner organizations have to work
collectively to make implement able through out the country. If these
things are corrected or improved, it would become possible program of
national authorities. There should be some lobbying to publish such
notification by the government. The agenda of the state recon
structuring is the popular issue raised by the distinguished scholars.
The ALDeRLS Nepal tries to suggest some of the serious factors in
decision making. It is the eagerness and ability of the political and
social leaders to provide regulation, support and maintain the
process.
