Kathmandu - "Where are they?" Dirgharaj Joshi is a human rights activist who has embarked on a human rights journey through the search for a missing citizen. Joshi, who has been active in the field of human rights in various countries, has received the "American Outstanding Social Worker and Trainer Award 2022" at the American Awards (Festival) held in the United States on May 2, 2022. In the show ceremony, Joshi and Kavita Sharma of Nepalwat Special Care Foundation, and radiologist Dr. Arun Kumar Yadav have received awards in various categories. The award program was organized through virtual technology.

Joshi, who started the movement demanding the immediate release of the people who went missing during the People's War and the state and the rebel side, had to face various forms of repression from the state side. At that time, Joshi also organized various struggles for human rights and peace in Nepal.

"Where are they?" The program is run by KOCAP, an organization working for peace, human rights, and democracy. The pressure-filled 35-day East-West cycle trip had put a lot of pressure on the government and non-government parties to make public the whereabouts of the disappeared citizens.

Joshi has studied nationally and internationally in the field of human rights, as well as providing training on shows and engineering consultants who have gained a reputation in Nepal. Skill-based training was also provided to prepare the workers.

Dirgharaj Joshi, a local from Kailali, Dhangadhi in the far-western region, is equally active in various social activities besides his regular work (Engineering Consultant). Evaluating his work, Joshi, who has been active in the field of human rights, has been given respect and appreciation by various organizations. Joshi, who has been playing an active role in human rights, democracy, and peace, was awarded the "Human Rights Service Award 2022" at Nepal's first Inclusive Music Awards National Inclusive Music Awards ceremony.
