Civic responsibility
Encouraging citizens to treat themselves as participants rather than spectators, through writing, public meetings and local media.
Public accountability
Pressing for transparent counts, transparent budgets and answerable officials, including through the courts when ordinary channels fail.
Local infrastructure
Roads, water, connectivity and public spaces in Vyas and Tanahun: the unglamorous questions that decide whether people stay or leave.
Education and youth
Work with schools, colleges and young people on skills, civic literacy and reasons to build a life in Nepal.
Environmental responsibility
Local environmental responsibility (waste, water, hills and forests) treated as a public health question rather than a slogan.
Ethical living and veganism
Lectures across the country on veganism and ethical living, and VeganNepal.com.np, the first vegan online news portal in Nepal.
Community media
Engagement with Radio Rodhi in Damauli and other community outlets in the Gandaki region, where most local debate actually takes place.
Technology for public service
Applying an engineering background to public problems: digital records, open data, and online platforms for local information.
Community development
Support for local initiatives that people run themselves, on the view that durable development is owned locally or not at all.
