Surya Prakash Bajgain
Bio
Surya Prakash Bajgain is originally from the rural village of Bijaybasti in Parsa. He grew up in a small family with his father, mother, brother, and grandmother. His family faces significant financial challenges and depends largely on livestock farming for income, while his brother also earns a small income through labour work. Due to these financial limitations, Surya completed his secondary education at a government school in his village, as his family could not afford the fees associated with private education.
Surya is a curious and enthusiastic learner who enjoys learning new things and trying new experiences. He is particularly interested in technology and enjoys coding and problem-solving. He is currently pursuing a Bachelor of Computer Applications (BCA) at Thames International College.
Alongside his studies, Surya participated in the Aakar Nepal Impact Leadership Fellowship, a three-and-a-half-month program that encourages young people to design and implement social impact projects. As part of the fellowship, he conducted an environmental project in his village focused on raising awareness about the invasive “Sapeta” tree species. Outside academics and community work, he enjoys reading fiction and travelling. He describes his journey as one of evolving from who he was into who he wishes to become.
Through the Aakar Nepal Impact Leadership Fellowship, Surya contributed to his community by conducting an environmental awareness project in Bijaybasti focused on the invasive “Sapeta” tree species. His project allowed him to apply his interest in social impact to an issue affecting his local community.
