Education: MA (Rural Development), Kantipur College of Business Management & Humanities

I was born in Thecho, Lalitpur, Nepal. I grew up in surroundings full of natural beauty. I completed my Master of Arts (Rural Development) in 2012, and succeeded in topping my year.

My career started in the media field – through modeling. Thereafter, I started working in the field of education and social services. I have conducted different trainings on leadership, group management, and other related technical matters. In my professional life, I have been involved with different NGOs and INGOs. Previously, I served as President of the BVC Students’ Council, Bright Vision College, and taught Computers at Shuvatara School.

I came to know about TFN from a member of the staff. Later on I checked Teach for Nepal’s official page and found it to be a very new and dynamic concept dealing with an essential issue in the Nepalese education system, to reduce educational disparities between public and private schools. I feel the movement is very much essential in the present context of Nepal. I applied to Teach for Nepal to be the part of a movement to change students’ future. At the beginning, I thought TFN was an organization that was just recruiting teachers for government schools. But when I went through its vision, mission and objectives my mind changed. During the selection process it was really very tough. There were clearly high standards, and we had to complete different oral interviews and written assessments. The 6 weeks of training also consist of both intensive and extensive learning. The ultimate aim of the training -- to make every fellow a transformative teacher -- is very challenging, but with lots of hard work and dedication, it can be achieved.

Most people criticized me when I applied. They thought it was an impossible vision to reduce educational disparity between public and private schools, within 2 years. I feel happy and proud to be the part of this movement. My family members were very supportive but were anxious about the placement: I’m the only son, and I have to take care of my new baby, and my wife, as well as my mother. In spite of these challenges I think this is the platform where I can put 100% of my effort to bring out possibilities for sustainable changes in students’ lives.

I think of a school as a garden where beautiful flowers bloom. I want to take care of the entire garden, and make the flowers bloom in all seasons. I am very much hopeful that I can bring out positive results in students’ academic performances, and guide them to bear their responsibilities with strength. I want them to be able to face and complete any task related to their life.

Every step I have taken in my life has taught me countless lessons, and will lead to a particular destination. I want to develop my career and contributions in the public service sector. In the future, I want to see myself leading the entire nation in the development sector. I know this is very ambitious goal, and that to reach it, I need to learn much more in life. I anticipate that the next two years will make important contributions towards this learning.
