Russian Centre of Science and Culture (RCSC) in Kathmandu was established in 1979. It is now the representative wing of the Federal Agency of Commonwealth of the Independent State Affairs, compatriots living abroad, and the International Humanitarian Cooperation (Rossotrudnichestvo) of the government of the Russian Federation in Moscow to strengthen that relationship in cultural and scientific sectors. The RCSC acts as a bridge to promote people-to-people relationships between Russia and Nepal through collaborative and cooperative engagement in the field of science, culture, and education.
