MPhil Scholar in Economics, Central Department of Economics, Tribhuvan University — teaching applied economics and conducting policy-oriented research across Nepal's public university system.
Teaches across MA Economics, MBA, MBM, BBA, BA and international-affiliate programmes at five Tribhuvan University-linked institutions, covering microeconomics, macroeconomics, econometrics and public economics.
Published work on financial literacy, financial inclusion and the digital divide in Nepal, with conference papers presented at CAICE, NECS and FICE. Currently a research assistant at CEDA and CEDECON.
Editorial board member for two peer-reviewed journals; formerly led a district-level youth employment secretariat and served as Vice-President of the Economics Students' Society.
Teaching economics to the next generation, while keeping one foot firmly in empirical research — that combination shapes almost everything on this page.
Research interests sit at the intersection of applied econometrics and development economics: how households in Nepal make food-consumption decisions, how financial literacy translates into actual financial inclusion, and how digital access is distributed unevenly across the country. Ongoing MPhil work at CEDECON builds on an MA thesis that used empirical modelling to test the link between financial literacy and inclusion.

Reflections on economics research, teaching practice, and policy observations from Nepal.
When students work with actual household survey data instead of textbook examples, econometrics stops being abstract. Notes on integrating STATA workflows and CBS data into the classroom at Tribhuvan University.
Nepal's digital infrastructure has expanded rapidly — but access remains deeply uneven across geography, gender, and income. An overview of the structural drivers behind the divide and what policy levers remain underused.
How does financial literacy translate into actual financial behaviour? Drawing on survey data from Nepal's provinces, this post unpacks the mechanisms that connect knowledge with participation in formal banking systems.
Two threads run through current work: food demand and household consumption patterns in Nepal, modelled using OLS and AIDS estimations, and the broader question of how financial literacy converts into real financial inclusion for Nepali households.
