My Name is Bedraj Paudel (Govinda), a resident of KalikaVDC – 8, of Bardiya District, Nepal. I am a farmer, a program manager, and a student of Business Management. I grew up in a family of organic farmers and feel very strongly that it is important to the future of Nepal.

Since 2005 I have worked at SADP-Nepal (Sustainable Agriculture Development Program Nepal, a non-profit demonstration farm, international volunteer program, and educational program for organic farming in Nepal) in capacities including Program Assistant, Hospitality Supervisor, Tour Guide, Office Manager, Trainer, and Facilitator. Since 2008, I have served SADP as a member of its Board.

Besides managing the office and demonstration farm for SADP-Nepal, I began a school gardening program in local schools, to teach young people organic farming principles and provide schools with food. Other skills I bring to MVEF include photography, cooking, plumbing, building plastic houses and ponds, building traditional houses and smokeless stoves, computer skills, web design, and more. My hobbies include chess, sports, cooking, travelling, reading, and having fun. I enjoy problem-solving, leadership, and spending time talking with people about ideas, attitudes, and experiences. to know about our Project please visit our website:- www.mvef.org.np
