Name : Salma Khatun

Program Officer at Enhancing Youth, Women, and Marginalized Communities through Media Fellowship

I’ve gained a lot of different experiences that show how much I care about getting better personally and helping my community. For a year and a half each, I worked at Indreni FM and Nepal 1 TV where I reported news and helped with TV shows. I got better at what I do by taking special courses, like learning about computers, writing as a journalist, reporting on important topics, understanding human rights, and ways to make sure news doesn’t harm anyone. I was also part of a program that helps people be more accountable. I spent 2 years at Narayani FM and a year at BTV Birgunj, Parsa. I was also part of important groups, like the Janta Samajwadi Party and Nepal Bhojpuri Samaj, Parsa, where I was Vice President. I was even the Former Deputy Mayor of Pokhariya Municipality. I care a lot about being a leader and learning, which is why I joined the Nepali Emerging Leader’s Program and Media Fellowship Training. I am currently now as the President of Lions Club of Birgunj Central City and working as a Program Officer for Hamro Abhiyan. All these things have helped me make a difference in society and grow as a person.

I am a dedicated and accomplished professional with a strong background in journalism, mass communication, and community engagement. My extensive experience in news reporting, anchoring, and accountability roles reflects my commitment to creating impactful content and fostering positive change. As a proactive member of various organizations, including political committees and community groups, I have demonstrated leadership, advocacy, and the ability to drive meaningful initiatives. With a diverse linguistic skill set, I am capable of effective communication in multiple languages. My passion for media, social progress, and community service defines my journey as a professional and as a proactive contributor to society.
