I am from Khotang. I did my undergraduate in Agricultural Engineering from Dharan. I also have a Master's degree in Rural Development from TU and a Master's in Professional Studies (MPS) degree in Agriculture & Rural Development from Cornell University, USA. For the past 10 years, I have worked in the sector of agriculture, monitoring & evaluation and rural development. I worked extensively with smallholder farmers of Khotang and Solukhumbu for the past 6 years. I also dabble in writing, and photography. I am interested in research about rural agriculture, global and regional inequity and social justice.
