The British Army Major Building a Nepali Village in the UK (Major Khusiman Gurung)

The Station 2040

About

In this powerful episode of The Station 2040, we sit down with Major Khusiman Gurung, MVO, a man who dedicated 35 years of his life to the British Army. After retiring in 2017, he didn't just look for a quiet life - he embarked on one of the most ambitious diaspora projects in recent history: The Nepali Village UK & Vision 2032.

We dive deep into how military discipline translates into community building, the emotional pull of the motherland after decades abroad, and the practical steps to creating a multi-million pound global investment legacy.

    The "Nepali Village" Concept: Why this project is about more than just buildings—it's about identity and preservation.
