Since my arrival in Darwin in 2020, I have been actively involved in community engagement. From 2021 to 2023, I had the honour of serving as Joint Secretary in the NRNA NT SCC. During that term, we worked diligently on various impactful initiatives that strengthened our cultural heritage and built lasting connections within the Nepalese community of the Northern Territory.
Even during the past two years while I’ve not held an official position, I’ve remained committed. I have supported ongoing activities, encouraged participation, celebrated collective achievements, and offered constructive suggestions whenever possible. I was present in spirit and effort—always advocating for a more connected, vibrant, and united community.
While I believe this election should have been resolved through timely and fair consultation, the process now moves forward, and I’m ready to contribute. I am particularly impressed by the upcoming manifesto and agendas led by Mr. Bhawani Paudyal—emphasizing accountability, teamwork, and inclusive progress.
💬 I humbly request your support as we work together to uplift our NT community and foster positive collaboration across all states and territories in Australia.
More updates to follow soon. For now, I’m proud to step forward—not just as a candidate, but as a committed community member.
