AN INTRODUCTION OF LUMBINI DEVELOPMENT TRUST
 
1.
 The Lumbini Development Trust (LDT) is an autonomous, non-governmental and non-profit making organization established by the Lumbini Development Trust Act 2042 (1985) for the purpose of restoring the Lumbini garden under the Master Plan.
 
2. Rt. Hon'ble Prime Minister of Nepal is the Patron of the Trust.
 
3. In the national level Lumbini Development Trust was constituted in order to present before the people of the world the commitment of Government of Nepal to project goal and ideal of development of Lumbini more effectively and operate the Lumbini Development Plan in a more coordinated and smooth manner.
 
4. Government of Nepal reconstituted the Lumbini Development Trust under the Chairmanship of Minister of Culture, Tourism and Civil Aviation. The Trustees are nominated by the Government of Nepal. The act also provides for nomination of representatives of international Buddhist organizations and such other persons associated with the preservation of world cultural heritage
 
5. In 1970, the 13 Nation International Committee for the Development of Lumbini was formed in New York under the Chairmanship of the Permanent Representative of the Kingdom of Nepal to the United Nations.
   
 

These nations – Afghanistan, Burma (Myanmar), Cambodia, India, Indonesia, Japan, Laos, Malaysia, Nepal, Pakishtan, Singapore, Sir Lanka and Thailand – later formed an advisory panel to the world-renowned Japanese architect, Professor Kenzo Tange, in his preparation of the Master Plan for Lumbini's development. Three additional countries, namely Bangladesh, Bhutan and the Republic of Korea, later joined the effort.

Today the Lumbini Development Trust administers and coordinates the on-going effort to restore Lumbini. That effort, led by Government of Nepal, includes technical assistance from the United Nations Development Programme as well as international contributions from many nations.
