Forest employees accused Shrestha of encroaching upon their work. On 4 September he was sworn in as DeputyPrimeMinister and ForeignMinister in the new UnifiedCommunistParty of Nepalcoalitiongovernment led by PrimeMinister Dr. Baburam Bhattarai. The state was formed only later.”
But his path was not easy. In July 2008, he became a nominatedConstituentAssembly member, representingJanamorcha Nepal.
He gives an instance of how villagers in Jomsom were clueless about making use of apples that were growing there abundantly.
“There was a possibility of making brandy, pie and ciders from apples without wasting it. He is also the lawmaker of the country. The 47-year-old leader was born in Jaubari village of Gorkha and holds a master’s degree in public administration.
He was fifteen years old then. On May 27, 2008, he became public after spending 18 years in underground work. Dressed in casual attire, he says that he is always seen in informal wears.
He shares one anecdote: When he was invited to a high-profile party many years back where the dress code stated that he wear formal attire. The 47-year-old leader was born in Jaubari village of Gorkha and holds a master’s degree in public administration.
He, however, did not join the rebellion on the grounds of working policy but helped it from outside while continuing with his peaceful political activities despite being underground as general secretary of the Unity Centre.
He edited the weekly paper "Mulankyan", "Garjan" and "Janamat". He started working as a teacher right after his SLC to save money so that he could come to the capital for his further studies.
“I don’t set my aim too high but I believe in winning over the person who is right ahead of me.
On 7 September 2011, he was appointed official government spokesman. “Humans have inherent rights to nature because since the beginning, humans and nature have been together. Apart from studies, he was equally active in extracurricular activities and literature.
He came to Kathmandu in 1961 and that was the first time he ever traveled in a vehicle.
His day begins at 4:30 in the morning, and after a bit of gardening, he starts working. This is what I suggest to all my friends as well,” he says.
He has a large family of three sons and four daughters who are all settled abroad. “So, in that way I wasn’t invited at all,” he explains.
But Shrestha was relentless in his pursuit and became active in creating more participatory approach to community decision-making, reaching out to villagers and women and initiating the country’s first user-managed community forestry group called FECOFUN (Federation of Community Forestry Users, Nepal).
He has also established many grassroots-level organizations that have played key roles for the development of community forestry in Nepal, such as Natural and Organizational Resources Management Service (NORMS), Nepal Participatory Action Network of I/NGOs (NEPAN) and National Federation of Irrigation Water Users’ Association Nepal (NFIWUAN), to name a few.
“Until villagers have their ownership, nothing can be implemented, and we wanted to introduce the concept of “Hamro ban,” he adds.
Shrestha is someone who cannot stay content by limiting himself to just one work.
On 4 September he was sworn in as Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister in the new Unified [Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist)] coalition government led by Prime Minister Dr. [Baburam Bhattarai]. He was also the recipient of the first ever Collaborative Partnership on Forests, “Wangari Maathai Award 2012,” named after Nobel Peace Prize winner, environmentalist Maathai of Kenya.
