QUEST-Nepal, an acronym of Quality Circles in Education for Students’ Personality Development - Nepal, is a non-profit, non governmental organization established and formally registered in Nepal by like minded educationists who believes in developing Total Quality People by implementing Students’ Quality Circle as co-curricular activity in educational institutions.
Students’ Quality Circle (SQC) is one such innovative idea. If our institute can implement SQC as co- curricular activity for our students they will develop pro- social personality together with whatever academic knowledge they gain. Our students will be smart as well as good human beings, to whom we like to call as Total Quality Persons.
Total Quality People (TQP) are those who exhibit personality traits and characters of leadership like effective communications, emotional stability, compassion, team spirit, problem solving, positive temperament, commitment, honesty and desire to excel. Students’ Quality Circle is one educational empowerment program that has tremendous potential and scope to shape the attitudes, habits and personality of students and make them the light of the world.
Quality People are not a matter of chance, but a constant and conscious effort is required to groom them. We educationists and our academic institutions involved in this noble cause of making the character of students have now to reorient ourselves to the changing needs by adopting to innovative ideas.
