Home: Sangrampur, Mahottari, Janakpur

Education: Master’s of International Relations, South Asian University, India

I have always believed that my purpose in life is to make people aware of the value of education and how it can lead to happiness and peace. I was born in an affluent family in a remote village named Sangrampur in Mahottari where people’s livelihood depends on traditional farming and remittance.

I studied in a private boarding school since an early age, but later moved to a public school and passed School Leaving Certificate (SLC) at the age of 15. After my higher education in the field of science, I joined Bachelor’s in Business Administration and later pursued Master in International Relations at South Asian University.

While looking for a platform where I can contribute to society and create intercultural awareness and joy of diversity, I met a Teach For India Fellow who is also a friend. She informed me about Teach For Nepal’s vision which inspired me to join the movement.

I’ve always felt that the best way to end education inequality is to work through ground level and Teach For Nepal is addressing the issue with the high level of integrity and dedication. I decided to do Fellowship because my education background would be ideal to bring necessary changes in our community.

I want to use my experience as a country representative at South Asian University to help the community understand cultural diversity and the sheer joy of plurality. I also want to help students understand international relations and how it can benefit the society.

After my Fellowship, I want to look into opportunities in academia. I want to use my learning of community, my experience and education in International Law and Diplomacy to alter our country’s course of development.
