I am a founding president of Alternatives. I had started this organization in 2006 after completing a graduation program of Ashoka Forum for Young Social Entrepreneurs Nepal in 2006. From the early young age, I always wanted to do some contributions towards my community. I always want to open an organization that promotes youth entrepreneurship in rural areas of Nepal because 83% of youth are living in rural areas with the lost of energy and possibilities but they are not in focus of Government, NGOS and Private sectors in Nepal. So I started this organization with the aim of finding new possibilities for youth as they are the engine of entrepreneurial development to bring positive change in their home, community and society.
