Her efforts have been recognized by national and international media since she was nominated for CNN Heroes Award, which she subsequently won in 2012. ELGA Foundation of South Korea awarded ELGA Youth Award to Basnet in September 1, 2012, at Soul's Chung Conference Hall for her contribution in human services. Basnet is the only foreigner to receive the award which was established in the memory of Social worker Kim Yongi in 1989. 
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
