Many Nepalese haven't been able to make a great impression in the world , one of the very few who has done that is Kul Chandra Gautam.. a distinguist international civil cervant who was a former assistant secretary-general of the United Nations, Deputy Executive director of UNICEF.. he's the first nepali to ever hold such a big post on international level!!
Kul Chandra Gautam was born at Gulmi district of western nepal. There wasn't any school, helth post at that time, so he'd to be condemd in learnin sanskrit from his neighbour but later on he attended Janata Vidyalaya school in Tansen, Palpa but attended SLC from kathmandu where he was top among his schoolmates.
After this, he went to tri-chandra college where he attended his IA and got visa to study at darthmouth college in USA where he majored in international relations... he was a dean's list student and graduated cum laude....Then he went to worldfamous Woodrow wilson school of international and public affairs at princeton university where he completed his MPA..
Kul chandra gautam was the first ever UNICEF representative in HAITI and also he became chief for latin america and carriben @UNICEF headquarters in New YORK, which was quite an unusual challenge for a south asian guy.. he has held record for being youngest UNICEF country representative in Laos..
Thus for his fantastic works to the international civil area, kul chandra gautam was awarded with Audrey Hepburn Humanitarian Award in 2008..
Kul Chandra Gautam has certainly made his country proud by accomplishing great success at international level.. he's truly a pride for this nation......
