Education: Bachelor’s of Information Technology, Softwarica College of IT and E-Commerce

I started my schooling in a private school in Chhoprak, Gorkha that was managed by teachers from Darjeeling, India. The school provided quality education compared to public school, so like my parents, the majority of community members also enrolled their children in the school. In 1996, when Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist) launched an armed conflict against The Government of Nepal, our school decided to close due to safety concern and for the next six years I a ending a public school.

After my C.B.S.E., I joined Softwarica College Of IT and E-commerce to prepare me for employment in the IT sector. During my studies, my father started battling cancer, he had always been my source of inspiration and his battle motivated me to do my best in my Business Computing and Information System studies. Even though my father lost his battle, I overcame mine as I graduated with flying colors. After completing my bachelor's, I thought of going abroad to further my studies like millions of youths in Nepal. But instead started looking for a job in Nepal. That is when I came across Teach For Nepal’s announcement. After learning about the organization’s initiative, I knew deep down in my heart that I wanted to be a part of the movement where I could do more and be more.

All my life, I have faced various challenges but these challenges are nothing compared to challenges faced by children in rural Nepal. As the world is moving towards technology we need to make sure that our country’s future generation have the knowledge to use information and communication technologies. I want to use computer technology into a versatile learning tool that could demonstrate concepts, assign projects and assess students’ progress.
