600,000+: Total words across the series
24: Individual ISBNs officially issued
1: Author • One vision • One date
On 24 April 2026, Khem Nath Sharma of Nepal simultaneously published twenty-four complete non-fiction books on a digital platform, each carrying its own officially issued ISBN. Released together as a unified nation-building series titled Nepalbaad, the work was formally certified by Official World Record in the category “Most Non-Fiction Books on Nation-Building Published Simultaneously by a Single Author on a Digital Platform.” The achievement marks a distinguished benchmark in digital publishing for its scale, thematic coherence and single authorship.
Nepalbaad is a structured intellectual framework developed by Khem Nath Sharma to examine the major pillars of nation-building in Nepal. The twenty-four volumes are designed not as isolated books but as interconnected works that together form a comprehensive vision of national development, governance, institutional reform and long-term prosperity. Collectively, the series exceeds six hundred thousand words and represents a substantial single-author contribution to nation-building literature.
All volumes were published together on 24 April 2026. This achievement sets a distinguished benchmark in digital publishing through its scale, thematic unity and single authorship.
What distinguishes this achievement is not only the number of books but the principle of simultaneous release. Authors who produce extensive bodies of work typically publish across many years, often releasing titles one at a time. Khem Nath Sharma released all twenty-four books on the same date. This preserved the conceptual unity of the Nepalbaad framework and ensured that readers, researchers, institutions and policymakers could engage with the full body of work as a complete system from its first day of publication.
Each volume in the Nepalbaad series carries an officially issued International Standard Book Number (ISBN), confirming its formal registration in the publishing system. The ISBNs, recorded through official platform listings and publicly visible on thuprai.com, were individually assigned to all twenty-four books. This gives each volume its own independent publishing identity while also strengthening the integrity and authenticity of the overall Nepalbaad framework.

The scope of the Nepalbaad series is as broad as nationhood itself. The framework moves across foreign policy, governance, defence, land, cities, infrastructure, education, transport, health, science, agriculture, law, youth, culture, energy, industry and the economy. No sector is treated in isolation. The educational vision connects to science and technology which in turn connects to industry and economic development. The work on forests and environment intersects with agriculture, water, land and long-term sustainability. In this sense, Nepalbaad is above all a statement of systems thinking: the idea that national progress requires coordinated advancement across every dimension of public life.
The role of the digital platform is central to the significance of this record. Publishing on a digital platform meant that the moment Nepalbaad was released, it became available across Nepal and beyond, without geographic delay and without the traditional distribution barriers of print-only publishing. All twenty-four volumes appear on thuprai.com, Nepal’s established digital book marketplace, under Khem Sharma’s authorship.
The scale of the achievement is notable. Twenty-four coherent, structured, individually titled and officially registered non-fiction books were written organized and released by a single author in one coordinated act of publication. The work combines volume, discipline, thematic unity and long-form intellectual commitment in a way that is highly unusual within contemporary digital publishing.
Although Nepalbaad is rooted in the Nepali context, the framework it presents reaches beyond national borders. The core questions it addresses governance, education, land, public services, economic development, social structure, environmental stewardship and the relationship between state and citizen are questions every nation must confront in its own way. In that sense, the significance of Khem Nath Sharma’s achievement extends beyond the record itself. It is also a contribution to the broader global conversation on how nations think about their own development.
On 24 April 2026, with the simultaneous publication of twenty-four books on thuprai.com, Khem Nath Sharma placed the full architecture of Nepalbaad before the public. The Official World Record certification formally recognizes what the publication record clearly establishes: this was a rare and historic act of single-author intellectual production in digital non-fiction publishing.
