Biography
He was born and brought up in Aathrai village, Terathum in a Subba (village chief) family. He studied Public Administration and passed the Loksewa examination to work as a civil servant for Nepal government. He served the government for 36 years and retired as the chief district officer of Dhankuta in 2014. While preparing for civil service examinations, he found out that the mainstream Nepali history, the one that also appeared in those exams, differed a lot from the actual history. So, he started researching about the Limbuwan history.

He spent seven years and NRs. 1.3 million to write his Madan Puraskar winning book, Limbuwanko Etihasik Dastavej Sangraha.

Awards
In 2021, he won the Madan Puraskar, Nepal's highest literary honour, for his book Limbuwanko Etihasik Dastavej Sangraha. The book was selected out of 222 submission.
