About Biplop Swarnakar

Biplop Swarnakar, aged 22, from Banke, Nepal, belongs to the Dalit (marginalized) community and is currently pursuing a B.Sc. in Agriculture at Agriculture and Forestry University, Rampur, Chitwan, Nepal.

He is a proud One Million Leaders Fellow in the OMLAS Fellowship Program from 2024, an experience that has been both inspiring and transformative, contributing significantly to his personal and professional growth.
