Born on September 14, 1992, in the rural village of Dhamaura in Mahottari District, Nepal, Ujawal Jha is a name that is fast becoming synonymous with grassroots activism, compassionate leadership, and political innovation. His journey from a humble village boy to a respected social worker and political leader is both inspiring and impactful. With unwavering dedication to his community and a clear vision for a better society, Ujawal has emerged as a powerful force in the sociopolitical landscape.
Early Life Rooted in Struggle
Growing up in the southern plains of Nepal, commonly known as the Terai region, Ujawal witnessed firsthand the challenges faced by ordinary citizens—lack of basic healthcare, poor education systems, inadequate infrastructure, and poverty. Rather than becoming indifferent to these systemic issues, they ignited a deep sense of responsibility in him. These early life experiences laid the foundation for his lifelong commitment to social reform.
Academic Foundation and Social Awakening
Ujawal Jha pursued a degree in Political Science from Tribhuvan University, one of Nepal’s most respected academic institutions. During his student years, he became actively involved in volunteer work and social activism. He collaborated with NGOs and community-based organizations to launch educational campaigns, improve literacy rates, and organize free health camps in underdeveloped regions. His initiatives helped bring tangible change to rural communities, earning him recognition as a young changemaker.
Transition to Politics: Serving Through Policy
In 2022, Ujawal made a strategic move into politics by joining the Nepal Communist Party (Maoist Centre). His decision was fueled by a belief that long-lasting change requires legislative and policy-level intervention. Since entering politics, he has focused on rural development, women’s empowerment, youth employment, and equitable access to education. His leadership style emphasizes transparency, accountability, and inclusive governance—traits that have resonated with people across Mahottari and beyond.
Championing the Marginalized
Ujawal has consistently advocated for the rights of marginalized and disadvantaged communities. He has launched various youth skill-building programs, startup incubation support for rural entrepreneurs, and scholarship schemes for students from low-income families. His focus on empowering the next generation is driven by his belief that youth are the key drivers of sustainable change in society.
A Voice for the Voiceless
Through numerous campaigns and public engagements, Ujawal has positioned himself as a voice for the voiceless. Whether addressing public rallies, meeting with local farmers, or speaking at development forums, his communication style is rooted in empathy, realism, and hope. His hands-on approach to leadership sets him apart from conventional politicians.
Published Author and Thought Leader
Adding to his credentials, Ujawal is also the author of “Bridges of Compassion: Navigating the Nexus of Social Work and Politics.” The book explores the intersection of social activism and governance, offering a roadmap for those who want to serve society both within and outside the political system. His writings reflect his ideological clarity and commitment to ethical politics.

These features highlight his growing public influence and reinforce his authenticity as a public figure. With increasing digital presence and grassroots support, he continues to gain credibility both online and offline.
A Leader with a People’s Heart
Ujawal Jha is not just a political leader—he is a visionary with a people-first approach. His dedication to justice, equity, and empowerment has touched countless lives.
