The stories, practices, custom, language, and traditions are the lifeline of any community. Indeed, it is the guiding principle which brought us to the present. The preservation, reformation, and promotion of socio-cultural aspects are not only shielding the identity but also maintaining sustainable guidance. Thus, SCRAnalysis is an impartial initiative to preserve and promote the socio-cultural identity of not only selected community but all groups and communities without compromising the others.

Nepal is a small country based on its geographical coverage, but it is very rich in the diversity of culture, practices, language, and belief system. Thus, the political-economic component of governance should be well integrated with the cultural elements of the community for the sustainable development of a country. Hence, the initiative of SCRAnalysis to bridge the gap of socio-cultural involvement in the mainstream development endeavors of Nepal is the must.
