I hail from Lumding, Assam, a quaint tribal town, where my journey began. Since childhood, my passion has revolved around empowering tribal communities. Spending considerable time among them, I absorbed their struggles and aspirations. An incident during my 8th-grade year deeply impacted me. I witnessed a shopkeeper exploiting my caretaker’s ignorance of currency values. This moment ignited a resolve within me. I commenced teaching young tribal children essential skills: writing their names, understanding currency, and interpreting signage. Thus began my unyielding voyage as a Tribal Rights Activist. Alongside, I pursued a career as a Criminal Psychologist, nurturing and empowering tribal individuals towards constructive endeavors. My efforts have materialized into tangible improvements for tribal welfare: constructing community facilities, educational institutions, shelters, and sanitation facilities. Additionally, I champion the cause of sustainable menstruation, empowering over 60,000 tribal women with the knowledge of producing biodegradable pads, fostering economic independence. My commitment remains unwavering. I will persist until indigenous communities thrive, unwavering in the face of any obstacle.
