Mr. Pudasaini holds a fellowship in Social Entrepreneurship from Tribhuvan University, where he built the foundation for the work he does today. He envisioned a space where students can learn about astronomy and the universe through mentors. Space science is still largely absent from Nepal's education, and Astroport is his effort to bring that curiosity to young people who otherwise may never get exposure to it. He believes that if students are given the right environment and guidance, interest in this field will grow on its own. Alongside this, he works on biochar and activated charcoal as a practical way to support poverty alleviation. By helping communities produce and trade these materials, he enables them to earn through carbon credits while also contributing to better soil and a cleaner environment. It is a grounded approach to solving two problems at once.
