Bijay holds a B.S. in Environmental Science and a M.S. in Water Resources Development and Planning from Tribhuvan University in Nepal. Before coming to Tufts, Bijay worked as a consultant in the Climate Change Adaptation and Disaster Risk Reduction sector in Nepal where he helped vulnerable populations adapt to adverse climate impacts and build resilience.  

Current Studies and Future Goals

When asked what he found most meaningful about his field of study, Bijay responded with the following: "The field is interdisciplinary in nature. So, we (SWM Students) have the opportunity to study a wide range of subjects such as science and system analysis, economics, policy, leadership management, biology, research methodology, and other aspects related to water resources and their sustainable management. I like the most this aspect of the program and this has certainly broadened our knowledge and perspective of water resources.

Bijay was interested in pursuing the SWM Degree due to it's interdisciplinary nature and it's one-year timeline.

Bijay hopes to work in the water resources sector or pursue a PhD in water-related disciplines once he completes his studies at Tufts.
