Keeping in mind the possibility that our present generations may leave behind our culture while going through various modern challenges, Sampangs of Khotang firstly established “Kirant Sampang Rai Society Khotang”. Likewise, Sampangs living in Kathmandu founded “Kirant Sampang Rai Afflux Society Kathmandu”. Later these two organizations jointly organized a grand Sampang meeting informing Sampangs from all over the nation, at Dharan and gave birth to “Kirant Sampang Rai Jumlekha Nepal”. This organization has been uniting, encouraging, and motivating Sampangs from all over the world since its establishment. The “Jumlekha” word refers to the Sampang language.

According to an objective of “Kirant Sampang Rai Jumlekha”, Sampangs living in the United Kingdom also got united and established an organization named “Kirant Sampang Rai Jumlekha UK” on August 30, 2009, by a small gathering at Brompton Union Club, Medway. The main objective of this organization is to preserve and promote our indigenous culture and language. This organization helps all Sampangs of the UK to stay in touch and connected giving helping hands to each other in need. We have been organizing an annual get-together program so as to create and promote acquaintance between every Sampang living in the UK. In addition, its purpose is to work in coordination with Jumlekha Nepal and all other Jumlekhas out there. We have been supporting Nepal from the beginning in several ways. We supported “Kirant Sampang Rai Afflux Society Kathmandu” to publish a book named “Brief Introduction to Kirant Sampang Rai 2062”. We provided necessary articles including financial and moral support for the book which helped one of our Sampangs to get a Ph.D. We have been helping in several linguistic book writings and music album recordings as well.
