Diwakar Chettri

Chairperson

Diwakar Chettri has been in the teaching field since 1997 and has taught at different schools. Besides teaching, he makes political cartoons and has illustrated children’s books, as well. Despite applying for citizenship at the age of 16, he only received his certificate at 45, halting his further education and limiting his career options. Beyond teaching, he diversified his activities by working at the editorial bureau of a national daily and crafting content related to tourism. Having navigated 29 years without a citizenship certificate and enduring a protracted legal battle, Diwakar gained profound insights into the complexities of statelessness. An ardent advocate for equal citizenship rights, he currently serves as the standing chairperson of the Citizenship Affected People’s Network.
