About Me:
My name is Mohit Singh Thagunna, and I am from Nepal. Having been born and raised in the rural areas of the country, I have a deep connection to these communities. This connection fuels my passion for researching and documenting various aspects of rural life, including their practices, economy, socio-cultural dimensions, marginalization, indigenous skills, micro-businesses, and their sustainability. This passion ultimately inspired me to pursue a PhD in sustainable micro-entrepreneurship and green microfinance.
