Dinesh Humagain

Boarding School Scholarship Program Alumnus

BS in Electronics & Communication Engineering
IT Officer & Communication Officer for local government office, Khijidemba Rural Municipality, Okhaldhunga District

Dinesh says his childhood was “almost like a nightmare. We struggled with basic needs like nutritious food, decent clothing & education.”

NYF met Dinesh in 1999 and enrolled him in a quality boarding school where his skills in math and science could be nurtured. Dinesh thrived. He received NYF Scholarship support until graduating college in 2016, with a bachelor’s degree in Electronics & Communication Engineering.

He could have pursued a more lucrative career in one of Nepal’s cities or even abroad, but instead, he chose to become the IT Officer & Communication Officer at a rural government office near his home community.

Today, Dinesh is using his technical know-how to strengthen his local government’s ability to meet the needs of their community. He emphasizes communications between the government and the public, ensuring constituents are aware of their government’s commitment to them.
