A farewell program was organized for our professors and staff (Prof. Dr. Rajiina Maskey Byanju, Prof. Dr. Kedar Prasad Rijal, and Mr. Hom Prasad Kharel) who contributed significantly to bringing the Central Department of Environmental Science to its current height. The program was attended by the faculty members and staff of the CDES-TU. Many faculty members and staff described the memorable time spent together while working at the CDES and conveyed their best wishes for the retired life (not tired). The retired professors and staff also remembered the struggles and joyful moments while at the CDES. They are committed to continuing their contribution to the betterment of the CDES and the whole society at large. In the same event, Dr. Sudeep Thakuri, Associate Professor was welcomed back after completion of his tenure as the Dean at Mid-West University.

A few words to the retired professors and staff: As you step into this new chapter of life, let us celebrate your dedication to teaching, mentorship, and research that have shaped countless minds and left an indelible mark on the world of knowledge. You’ve not only shared lessons from textbooks but also life’s most valuable wisdom—curiosity, perseverance, and the love of learning. We hope your legacy lives on in every student you’ve inspired, every idea you’ve nurtured, and every life you’ve touched. May retirement bring you joy, relaxation, and the freedom to explore new passions. The CDES conveys deepest gratitude and warmest wishes,
