Nepal Environmental Watch Initiative (NEW Initiative) was formed in 2005 (2062 B.S.), as a non-profit, non-governmental organization by a group of environmental graduates, aiming to provide social service to the especially needed community with their meaningful participation in the field of social, economic and environmental development.

Since its inception in 2005, NEW Initiative has been promoting renewable energy-efficient technology and organic farming with additional various training, awareness activities, survey, and research.

The decreasing rate of natural resources and the increasing rate of population is the root of many environmental problems that existed in Nepal.
