His magnificent efforts and significant community-spirited services have added remarkable meaning and value to Nepalese culture and heritage in the Nepalese diaspora in Australia.

He devoted his time, energy, and resources consistently to the overall progress and good of our community and his magnificent efforts in the best service of our community earned him an uncrowned cultural ambassador. We are very proud of him and it feels wonderful to learn that he has been doing great work in Nepal and Portugal where he has been campaigning impressively to establish the residential Embassy of Nepal in Portugal. The committed volunteer never worked for any political ends, for the benefits of a particular section, not for himself but always for the overall welfare and goodwill of the community.”
