Education: Bachelor's of Technology in Biotechnology, Kathmandu University

I moved to the crowded city of Kathmandu from Gulmi for higher education. It was difficult for me to adjust to this new environment. Everything I saw influenced me to become one, however, with a focused mindset I dreamed of becoming a doctor. With a strong desire to this dream, I took Biology during my higher secondary school. But due to my financial condition, I was unable to continue my desired subject to later get into MBBS. Instead, I chose Biotechnology.

After all the hardship for two years, I was able to top at Biology at St. Xaviers’ College. I was also selected as a Senior Prefect, the equivalent of Student In-charge at KU boys hostel. It was all possible due to my presentation, communication and interpersonal skills developed in my leadership journey over the years.

Through my positive experiences, I have realized the importance of quality education in all schools including government schools. However, seeing the huge gap between public and private schools, I could not just sit idle with a degree in hand. This is why I applied for TFN Fellowship. Initially, I was overwhelmed by the idea of TFN journey as described by TFN Alumni, but I also do realize that facing challenges and growing through them are indispensable for one’s leadership development.

I joined TFN because of its larger vision towards academic as well as non-academic excellence for children that includes them realizing their responsibility and obligation towards others in the society. Through TFN, I want to help children build a clear vision of their social responsibility beyond academic excellence and look forward to two years of growing together with my students.
