Bio

Keshab BK is from Rolpa and completed his SEE at Shree Tripureshwari Secondary School. He grew up with his parents, younger brother, and elder sister. His father works as a daily wage labourer, while his mother manages the household.

Despite financial hardship, Keshab remained dedicated to his education and extracurricular activities. He participated in quiz, essay, speech, and debate competitions, as well as sports such as volleyball, high jump, and long jump, winning several prizes. He also took up paid work to help meet his family's financial needs.

Before receiving the Samaanta Fellowship, Keshab faced difficult choices: staying in his hometown to study Humanities, moving to Dang to work and afford education in his preferred field, or going to India to earn money for his family. The fellowship enabled him to prioritise his education.

Keshab completed studying Management (Computer Science) at Nepal Mega College and is currently pursing BBM at Thames International College.
