| नेपाल क्षेत्रीय तथा सहरी योजनाकार समाज (RUPSON) का पूर्व अध्यक्ष तथा वरिष्ठ क्षेत्रीय योजनाकार श्री डा. जीवगर जोशीज्यू को यही २०८० साल असार ३० गते असामयिक निधन भएको दुःखद समाचारले हामी सबैलाई स्तब्ध र मर्माहत बनाएको छ। | The sad news of the untimely demise of the former president of the Regional and Urban Planners Society of Nepal (RUPSON) and senior regional planner, Dr. Jibgar Joshi, on 30th Asar 2080 has left us all shocked and deeply saddened. |
| डा. जोशीज्यूले क्षेत्रीय तथा सहरी योजनामा उच्च शिक्षा हासिल गरी Regional Planning विषयमा विद्यावारिधि प्राप्त गर्नुभएको थियो। उहाँ तत्कालीन नेपाल सरकारको सचिव पदमा समेत रही नेपालको क्षेत्रीय नीति, योजना तथा कार्यक्रमहरुको विकासमा अतुलनीय योगदान पुर्याउनुभयो। उहाँका योगदानहरु आज पनि कोसेढुङ्गाका रुपमा स्थापित छन्। | Dr. Joshi acquired higher education in regional and urban planning and obtained a Ph.D. in Regional Planning. While also serving as a Secretary for the then Government of Nepal, he made an incomparable contribution to the development of Nepal’s regional policies, plans, and programs. His contributions are established as milestones even today. |
| उहाँका प्रकाशनहरूबाट नेपाल र अन्तर्राष्ट्रिय जगत्का असंख्य योजनाकार, अनुसन्धानकर्ता तथा विद्यार्थीहरू लाभान्वित भएका छन्। | Countless planners, researchers, and students from Nepal and the international arena have benefited from his publications. |
| उहाँ शान्त, सरल, मृदुभाषी, सौम्य तथा अत्यन्त दृढ व्यक्तित्वका धनी हुनुहुन्थ्यो। उहाँसँग नजिकबाट काम गर्नेहरूले उहाँलाई व्यक्तिगत व्यवस्थापनका अभूतपूर्व सीप, गहन सामरिक दृष्टिकोण, र योजनाको ज्ञान मात्र होइन – मानवीय सम्बन्ध र संस्थागत विकासका सूक्ष्म कलामा पनि सिद्धहस्त व्यक्तिका रूपमा चिन्थे। | He possessed a calm, simple, soft-spoken, gentle, and extremely resolute personality. Those who worked closely with him knew him not just for his extraordinary personal management skills, profound strategic vision, and knowledge of planning, but also as an expert in the subtle arts of human relations and institutional development. |
| उहाँको निधनले देशले एक कुशल सहरी तथा क्षेत्रीय योजनाकार मात्र होइन, एउटा असली मानवीय मूल्य र व्यावसायिक निष्ठाको प्रतीक गुमाएको छ – जुन वास्तवमा अपूरणीय क्षति हो। | With his passing, the country has lost not only a skilled urban and regional planner but also a symbol of true human values and professional integrity—which is truly an irreparable loss. |
| शोकको यस दुःखद घडीमा, दिवंगत आत्माको चिर शान्तिको कामना गर्दै, शोकाकुल परिवारजन – विशेष गरी श्रीमतीजी र छोरीहरूलाई – यस कठिन घडीमा धैर्य धारण गर्ने शक्ति प्रदान गरोस् भनी हामी ईश्वरसँग प्रार्थना गर्दछौं। | In this sad hour of mourning, wishing for the eternal peace of the departed soul, we pray to God to grant the bereaved family—especially his wife and daughters—the strength to maintain patience during this difficult time. |
