I actively participated in the People’s Movement leading a Student Struggle Committee against the then King during my college days. Later, during the Madhesh Revolution I participated by taking a leadership role in the Rural Youth Front. Due to my political engagements, I went to the deathbed when I was 19. This incident changed my life and pushed me towards social service.

My dream is to work for the betterment of society in order to end social injustice. I have seen so many injustices in my community such as child marriages, dowry, and illiteracy. I was motivated to apply for this fellowship but my father didn’t want me to join, as he wanted me to earn a lot or go for a government job. I had a hard time convincing him but I’m passionate about this movement. Through this fellowship, I want the children of my community to have a bright future, and the community to understand the importance of education.

I believe that this fellowship will help increase my own capacity and then help me achieve my dreams of ending social injustices in Nepal.
