The comprehensive work, edited by Prof. Dr. Ramchandra Pokharel, with Dr. Ashok Thapa, Puru Lamsal, and Sundar Manandhar as co-editors, is structured into 1000 pages and divided into four sections. It includes 32 articles in the first volume, 17 working papers in the second, and four plays in the third.
