Over the last few decades, Nepal made significant advancements in social development despite its ongoing socioeconomic complexities and geographical challenges.The data visionary and global health expert, Hans Rosling quoted in his recent visit to Nepal "Never before in the history of the world has any country made so much social progress with so little money." However, there is still a long way to go for a higher-level Human Development of the country. Nepal ranks 145 out of 185 countries according to the Human Development Index (HDI) as of 2014. Against this background, there has been an increasing recognition that the conventional trickle-down approach alone to tackle development may be insufficient in realizing accelerated as well as equitable development. The realization for the need to find new solutions to the challenges facing societies has led social innovation to take a central stage supported by decision-makers at the highest levels worldwide. This is coupled with the wave of technological advancements and the enormous expansion of the possibilities frontier brought about the new technologies. At the center of the emergence of social innovation movements worldwide, and especially in Nepal's demographic architecture are the young and motivated new generation. They are technological savvy, ambitious, willing to think differently, and willing to take risk.
