Considering the ongoing works in Natural Language Processing (NLP) with the Nepali language, it is evident that the use of Artificial Intelligence and NLP on this Devanagari script has still a long way to go. The Nepali language is complex in itself and requires multi-dimensional approaches for pre-processing the unstructured text and training the machines to comprehend the language competently. There seemed a need for a comprehensive Nepali language text corpus containing texts from domains such as News, Finance, Sports, Entertainment, Health, Literature, Technology.
