MVPs, Ambassadors & earnable badges

Devs.Nepal recognises contribution — not just identity. Most badges are earned automatically as you build, vote, host, and verify. Two prestige tiers — MVP (विशिष्ट प्राविधिक योगदानकर्ता) and Ambassador (राजदूत) — are granted by the Office of the Prime Minister.
