Biography

Rabindra Mishra (Nepali: रवीन्द्र मिश्र) is the Coordinator of the Sajha Party, writer, philanthropist, poet, actor and the founder of global charity, Help Nepal Network, which has chapters in 14 countries and is run entirely by volunteers. He is the former editor-in-chief of BBC Nepali Service. He left the BBC in February 28, 2017, to enter Nepalese politics.

Education

Mishra received his master's degree in Major English from Tribhuvan University in Nepal. He then went to Punjab University, Pakistan, earning a master's degree in Journalism. He joined London University and majored in International Politics.

Career

Rabindra Mishra worked with Nepal Television and Pakistan's leading English language daily, The News International. He joined BBC World Service in 1995 as a producer with BBC Nepali Service. Later he worked on English language flagship programmes, including World Today and Newshour. He was appointed as the chief editor of BBC Nepali Service in 2006.

Political career

On 28 February 2017, Mishra resigned from BBC Nepali Service to enter politics. He stated that the reason behind his move was to "create a common platform to bring together honest and capable Nepalis from all walks of life for the sake of clean politics to transform Nepal."

The next day (1 March), Mishra approached the Election Commission of Nepal with an application to reserve the name Sajha Party (Nepali: साझा पार्टी) (English translation: "Common Party") as the formal name, and a weighing scale as the symbol of his yet-to-be formed political party.

Mishra was a candidate for parliament in the election held in November 2017 from region no.1 of Kathmandu district.
