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

    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 35-Year Journey: From the frontlines of the British Army to community leadership. The "Nepali Village" Concept: Why this project is about more than just buildings—it's about identity and preservation. Vision 2032: The roadmap for the next decade and how the Nepali diaspora can contribute to a global legacy. Investment & Future: How the project is managed like a public company to ensure long-term sustainability for the next generation. [00:01:56] – Reflections on 35 years in the British Army. [00:03:29] – Where the idea for a "Nepali Village" in the UK began. [00:04:43] – Lessons learned from leading community organizations. [01:10:28] – The business of community: Global investment and public company models. [01:11:36] – How to get involved and the Vision 2032 mission.
