How do you protect the pulse of the planet?
I trust that circulating the knowledge and information generated by ICIMOD is helpful to researchers, policy makers, students, and general public and I help in protecting the pulse of the planet through my role in distribution and promotion.
What is your favorite part of the work you do at ICIMOD?
The working environment of ICIMOD is excellent. I especially enjoy that I get to interact with visitors on a daily basis and get to meet new people in outreach events. Making them happy by providing them the information or documents they seek makes me happy and I enjoy the opportunity to serve people by providing ICIMOD’s information on a timely basis.
What are you passionate about?
Living in a country where a popular saying is that “heaven is a myth, Nepal is real,” I feel fortunate to be able to travel since I am a very adventurous person who loves to explore new places and learn about local cultures.
