Early life and career

In 1975, he completed Ulaanbaatar's High School No. 1, and in 1981, he graduated from the physics department of the National University of Mongolia. From 1982 to 1985, he worked as a teacher in Renchinlkhümbe, Khövsgöl, and afterwards worked at the Astronomic Laboratory of Mongolian Academy of Sciences in Ulaanbaatar.[2]

Mongolia's Democratic Revolution
