Kathmandu, April 6
Onlinekhabar.com is publishing its list of “50 Influential Women of the Year 2026” today. The list, which is traditionally released on the eve of International Women’s Day (March 8), is set to be published later this year due to the recently held general elections (March 5) and related national responsibilities, according to Onlinekhabar Editor-in-Chief Basanta Basnet.
The list will feature 50 representative, resilient, and hardworking women from Nepali politics, society, arts/literature, culture, youth and sports, science and knowledge, entrepreneurship, and the diaspora.
Before finalising the list, Onlinekhabar made a public call for nominations. More than 700 names were received through the open call, the central newsroom in Kathmandu, correspondents from all seven provinces, and experts and sources from various sectors.
