Hon. Shraddha Kunwar
Elected MP (2022) · Rupandehi
Born and raised in Rupandehi, Lumbini Province, Shraddha Kunwar represents a paradigm shift in Nepali parliamentary politics — bridging rigorous academic training in environmental science, disaster management, and public health with dynamic youth activism.

“Governance is not a privilege of power; it is a sacred trust to serve the vulnerable and amplify voices that history has long silenced.”
