From the rural heartlands of Nepal to the bustling avenues of Tokyo, HB Tamrakar has carved a path defined by courage, compassion, and an unwavering commitment to humanity. A revered journalist, respected social activist, and the founder of the International Humanity Group, Tamrakar’s legacy is written not only in news headlines but in the hearts of thousands whose lives he has touched. His story is one of purpose — a lifetime dedicated to uplifting others and giving voice to the voiceless.
A Movement Born from Crisis: International Humanity Group
In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, as Nepal was gripped by uncertainty and despair, HB Tamrakar envisioned a movement rooted in hope. He founded the International Humanity Group — a people-centric initiative uniting Nepali youth under a shared mission: to serve humanity when it was needed the most.
From the eastern plains of Jhapa to the western terrains of Kanchanpur, the organization mobilized with remarkable speed and coordination. Volunteers distributed essential supplies, raised public health awareness, and saved lives. This was not mere charity; it was resilient, organized humanitarian action — deep-rooted in the belief that communities could rebuild themselves through solidarity and service.
Under Tamrakar’s leadership, the International Humanity Group became a bridge — connecting broken systems and forgotten families with lifesaving aid. Leading operations from Japan, Tamrakar orchestrated critical fundraising efforts to deliver food, medicine, educational support, and emergency relief to those hardest hit by the crisis. His approach to diaspora engagement, mobilizing the global Nepali community for local impact, has been hailed as visionary.
A Decade for the Voiceless: OSNepal Media (2014–2024)
In 2014, Tamrakar took another bold step by founding OSNepal Media, a platform dedicated to the unheard and unseen. Over the next decade, he used journalism not just to inform, but to fight for dignity.
Through OSNepal, Tamrakar shed light on the struggles of Nepali workers abroad, families left behind, activists silenced by systemic corruption, and communities abandoned by political promises. His reporting wasn’t about creating sensation — it was about inspiring change.
He gave early platforms to rising independent voices such as Rabi Lamichhane, Gyanendra Shahi, and Jwala Sangroula before they became household names. Tamrakar believed in truth, potential, and the power of storytelling — offering a microphone to those determined to reform Nepal from within.
Beyond the Newsroom: TV Programs with Impact
Never content to remain behind a desk, Tamrakar conceptualized and hosted dynamic television programs like The Fury of the Nation and Crossfire on TV Today HD. These shows fearlessly tackled injustice, systemic failure, and governance issues, creating spaces where hard questions were asked — and answers were demanded.
His programs challenged the traditional media culture, demonstrating that television could be a battleground for accountability, not just entertainment.
Compassion Beyond Borders
Even while residing in Japan, Tamrakar’s heart never left Nepal. He personally funded education for underprivileged students, paid hospital bills for the sick, and helped rebuild lives shattered by poverty and natural disasters. His financial support was discreet but transformational for hundreds of families.
Whether helping a child return to school or aiding a family after a tragedy, his compassion transcended distance. To HB Tamrakar, service was not a public relations exercise; it was a personal calling.
Pioneer of Ethical Digital Journalism
As a pioneer in Nepal’s evolving digital media landscape, Tamrakar helped redefine what online journalism could be: transparent, ethical, fearless, and citizen-focused. In a world where clickbait often overshadowed credibility, Tamrakar upheld journalism’s true values, reminding young journalists that digital media could be a powerful force for democracy.
His vision for digital journalism created standards that many in Nepal’s online news space aspire to even today.
Legacy Beyond Titles
Despite his growing influence, HB Tamrakar remains refreshingly humble. He is not driven by titles, accolades, or fleeting popularity. His fuel is purpose — and his compass is integrity.
As a founder, journalist, and humanitarian, Tamrakar has shown that leadership is not about visibility but about impact. From quietly organizing aid deliveries to loudly challenging injustices through journalism, his life’s work is a symphony of silent service and courageous advocacy.
Today, as Chairman of Yes Nepal News and the soul behind the International Humanity Group, Tamrakar continues to inspire a new generation of leaders who believe in action over rhetoric.
A Story Worth Celebrating
HB Tamrakar’s journey is not just to be told — it is to be celebrated. His life is a reminder that true change does not happen in conference rooms or campaign rallies, but in the selfless acts of individuals willing to fight for others. From founding grassroots humanitarian efforts to reshaping digital journalism in Nepal, Tamrakar stands as a beacon of what one determined soul can achieve.
In a world desperately seeking authenticity, HB Tamrakar is a testament to the quiet, powerful leadership that uplifts communities, challenges broken systems, and lights the way forward.
