Ujwal Thapa Scholarship: Honoring a Visionary and Community Contributor
WordCamp Bharatpur 2025 is proud to announce the Ujwal Thapa Scholarship, created to honor the Late Ujwal Thapa and his remarkable contributions to the WordPress community in Nepal.
Ujwal, together with Chandra Maharzan and Sakin Shrestha, initiated the WordPress Nepal community, a community that started as a small group and has now grown to over 11,000 members, playing a defining role in shaping Nepal’s WordPress ecosystem.
The vision, leadership, and community spirit of Ujwal Thapa continue to inspire us today. His dedication to open-source technology helped nurture one of the most dynamic tech communities in Nepal, and we honor his memory by carrying his work forward.
Why the Scholarship Matters
The Ujwal Thapa Scholarship ensures that financial barriers do not prevent passionate individuals from participating in WordCamp Bharatpur 2025. It reflects Ujwal’s own values – openness, collaboration, and equal opportunity. Through this initiative, we aim to continue his mission of making WordPress knowledge and community participation accessible to everyone.
