From Remote Village to Amplifying Indigenous Voices: My Work in Media

I am Dev Kumar Sunuwar, born and raised in the remote village of Kubu-Kasthali-2, Umakunda, Ramechhap. In the 2000s, I moved to Kathmandu, the capital city of Nepal, to pursue higher education. After years of working in mainstream media, my colleagues and I founded Indigenous community radio and Asia's first multilingual Indigenous community television. Our goal was to amplify the voices of Nepalese indigenous peoples and promote their languages through media. Building these indigenous community media outlets from scratch was challenging, but I feel immense satisfaction today. Our work has become a role model for many in Asia and worldwide. You can join me on my official website, which is a collection of my work, thoughts, experiences, and journey through life. Read more at https://www.devkumarsunuwar.com.np/
