A community hospital that听 Manjeet Pandey and the听International Medical Corps听built in the same village in 2016 .
Manjeet听Pandey, a graduate research assistant at CU Boulder pursuing a master鈥檚 degree in civil engineering, was recognized by the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) as one the 2024 New Faces of Civil Engineering for his outstanding contributions to the field.
In 2015, Pandey was drawn听to听relief work. While听taking his final undergraduate exam at a听university in Jaipur, India, he and his fellow students felt the听7.8 magnitude earthquake that听struck his home country of Nepal, nearly 700 miles to the northeast.
Fresh out of college, Pandey became听involved in a reconstruction project听as a project engineer听amid recovery efforts. Within five months he advanced to taking听on leadership of the project and overseeing a team of engineers and public health professionals in constructing 21 community hospitals in Nepal.
Following the health post reconstruction project with International Medical Corps (IMC) Nepal, Pandey continued his impactful work by collaborating with听the United World Schools organization to build 72 new schools in Nepal and听later contributed to building听30 more schools in four other countries.
