Newa: Deya Dabu
Newa Dey Daboo (NDD) is a national-level federal body represented by different local-level individual organizations of the Newars. It was constituted by a two-day National Convention held in Kathmandu on 7th and 8th of Yanlathwa 1115 Nepal Era (1st and 2nd September 1995)and was established with the objective to support and promote ethnicity, especially for the Newar ethnic group’s identity and rights. A national-level organization of the Newars, with their own distinct art, culture, language, literature, tradition and festivals, was felt to be needed not only for the welfare of the community but also for national pride. Newa Dey Daboo was formed to unite all Newars in the task of national building by uplifting their art, culture, language, literature and heritage. It also envisaged creating a national platform for Newar organizations of the country with a definite direction for involving them in the mainstream of people’s governance through civic and cultural activities.
