I was born in a remote area of Salyan District. The village was underdeveloped and there was no facility of education. So my parents migrated to Dang when I was five, in search of a comfortable life and good education opportunities for us. I shifted to Kathmandu in search of better opportunities. It wasn’t easy for us to adjust in all the new places eventually did. My father’s economic condition also wasn’t that stable but I was never deprived of a good education. And due to this, I became strong at a very early age to face any challenge that came my way.
Having completed Bachelor’s in Health Care Management, I started working in hospitals in Kathmandu. Later, I joined a project of a hospital called Yoga and Nature Cure Hospital and went to remote Banke for conducting health camps. I worked in the project for over 2 years. I had gone to the village as a health worker but there were many things that made me feel sad about that place. People there didn’t consider education to be important in children’s life due to which they couldn’t uplift their quality of life. They were ignorant regarding many things. After that visit, I made a decision that I would work in communities to improve living standards of people, not just as a health worker. I didn’t want to be limited by working in a hospital and wanted to create greater impact by creating awareness among the uneducated. This aspiration of mine led me to join fellowship.
As a TFN fellow, I won’t just be teaching Science to my students; I want them to learn many other things like personal hygiene, community’s sanitation and balanced diet, among others. I want to be a role model, a source of inspiration to my students and want to teach life skills which would help them face all the challenges in their life. I believe that my experiences of working as the President of National Student Society of Health Care Management (NOC) and conducting various workshops and seminars related with health will be useful while working in the community. I also have worked as the Assistant Administrator and Researcher in different hospitals so I believe that my learnings from those positions will be helpful to teach my students management and research skills. After the fellowship, I aspire to pursue my Master’s in public health. I wish to establish an organization, which will work in the sector of health and education simultaneously.
