KATHMANDU —In a distinguished ceremony held on Poush 11, 2082, at the Nepal Police Club, Rapati Samaj Kathmandu conferred the prestigious “Rapati Social Honor – 2082” upon Mr. Shashi Sharma Majgainya. A renowned lyricist, advocate, powerful orator, and dedicated social worker, Mr. Majgainya was recognized for his outstanding and multidimensional contributions to literature, music, law, social justice, and community development. The honor was formally presented during the auspicious occasion of the 9th National Rapati Music Award – 2082, marking a significant milestone in his two decades of influential service.
Mr. Majgainya, a permanent resident of Tulsipur, Dang, and currently based in Kathmandu, was born as the eldest son of Mr. Hariprasad Pokhrel and Mrs. Mina Sharma. For more than twenty years, he has remained continuously active, committed, and influential in the fields of literary practice, mass communication, legal advocacy, and social service. Through his persistent efforts, he has established himself as a respected and inspiring personality at both the regional and national levels, bridging the gap between creative expression and systemic social change.
Since the establishment of Rapati Samaj Kathmandu in 2063 B.S., Mr. Majgainya has played a pivotal role in strengthening the organization. He has served with distinction in various capacities, including Member, Secretary, and General Secretary, and has provided visionary leadership during his two terms as President. Even after completing his formal executive roles, he has continued to serve the institution as an Advisor and Patron. His dedication of experience, expertise, and leadership capacity toward the institutional development, sustainability, and dignity of the society is widely regarded as exemplary and memorable.
His leadership was particularly instrumental during times of national and regional crises. Whether in the aftermath of the devastating national earthquake or during severe floods, landslides, and fire incidents in the Rapati region, Mr. Majgainya’s farsighted and decisive leadership positioned Rapati Samaj Kathmandu as a leading, responsible, and action-oriented organization. His role in mobilizing resources, coordinating relief efforts, and delivering timely support during these emergencies has been highly impactful and remains a hallmark of his service-oriented career.
Mr. Majgainya’s social contributions extend to immediate relief for fire-affected settlements in the Dang–Deukhuri area, as well as the facilitation of medical treatment for patients from the Rapati region through strategic coordination with hospitals. By ensuring treatment concessions for the needy and collaborating with schools and campuses to support economically disadvantaged students, he has consistently demonstrated a strong sense of social responsibility and humanitarian values. Through a non-political and inclusive approach, he has successfully united Rapati residents living both in Nepal and abroad, enhancing the credibility and prestige of the region on a global scale.
The high-profile ceremony was held in the distinguished presence of eminent personalities, including senior artist Madan Krishna Shrestha, renowned film director Nir Shah, constitutional expert and senior advocate Dr. Bhimarjun Acharya, and senior advocate Sher Bahadur KC, alongside other respected figures from the fields of arts, culture, law, and social service.
