Background
Nepal could not remain aloof from the wave of the democratic ideas and feelings that spread after the Second World War. Thus, Jayatu Sanskritam movement took its shape making educational demanding with concealed political motive on the 1st of Asar 2004.

The formal committee was formed by the first conference held on 29-30 Asar, 2056.
