Balaram Bishwokarma is a metal craftsman from Kavre. The 30-year-old quit his studies in the third grade and soon started working. He remembers not having any interest in studies; instead, he was inclined toward art from a very young age. “I am not educated, but I am proud of my craft skills. Like every other Nepali, I too tried for foreign employment, in Oman, but had to return due to health issues. I don’t have any remorse whatsoever.
