Ganga Prasad Pradhan

Ganga Prasad Pradhan (Newar language गंगा प्रसाद प्रधान) (July 4, 1851 in Kathmandu – 1932) was the first ordained Nepali Christian pastor, main translator of the Nepali Bible, co-author of an English-Nepali dictionary and author of children's textbooks.

He was born to a wealthy Newari family and taught by Scottish missionaries in Darjeeling. He returned to Kathmandu with aims of starting educational institutions for the public, as education was available to only a handful. He was exiled permanently to India in 1914 by king Tribhuvan of Nepal for preaching.

He was also editor of Gorkhey Khobar Kagat a monthly magazine, from 1901 to his death in 1932.
