Shesh Narayan Poudel thinks big and doesn’t always wait for an official green light before pursuing solutions to problems. Early in his career as the Chief District Officer of Baglung, Shesh noticed that residents of a remote hamlet had to endure a costly and perilous journey to obtain citizenship papers or a passport. So, he decided to bring those services to the people. More recently, he won praise for managing the emergency response to last year’s floods in Nepal. As Morang’s Chief District Officer, he dispatched public workers to go door to door visiting victims and set up a system to disseminate information to citizens and the media.
