I grew up in Ungma village Mokokchung District Nagaland. I am second youngest among seven siblings. My father is a retired school teacher and mother a house wife. In my village the much hyped eco friendly practices like sanitation,water harvesting etc have been a way of life since as long as I could remember.I did my schooling from Mokokchung and graduated from St Mary’s college Shillong. After my graduation I shifted to Delhi for further studies and also took up a job at British Counseling and Educational Institute.
