Message from the Vice-Chancellor

Tribhuvan UniversityKirtipur, Kathmandu, Nepal

It gives me immense pleasure to learn that TU Today is going to be published with the updated information on the activities of Tribhuvan University in its 55th year of establishment. On this auspicious occasion I would like to congratulate the information section, TU and all those involved in the publication of TU Today. Moreover, as I reflect on my years as the vice chancellor of TU, I see this year with great dedication and promise. It has been a wonderful year and on the very onset I thank the teaching faculty and the administrative staff, whose relentless dedication and honest contribution has helped the university open up innovative and new academic programmes through dual mode of education, maintain the quality of education and enhance teaching, learning and research activities. Furthermore, I would like to request the faculty and administrative staff for their continuous effort, devotion and efficiency to retain TU as one of the prestigious higher education institutions.

It is an open reality among us that TU has been the first priority of a large number of students and guardians in the country. I firmly believe that TU has been the institution for higher learning for more than 80% of the students. I sincerely thank for their trust on TU and express my unwavering determination and commitment to serve them the best by providing excellent academic opportunity. I would like to urge the students to help the university maintain its academic ethos by managing politics, maximizing learning activities and respecting the ideals of university without condition.

Despite its commitment to enhance and impart quality education, TU faces many challenges in governance and resource management for providing basic infrastructure and educational facilities required for creating environment for quality education. In spite of limited infrastructures and educational facilities, it has been producing efficient and competent graduates. The graduates of science and technology, such as engineering, medicine, agriculture and forestry are comparatively more reputed in terms of quality at international level.

Tribhuvan University has been updating, upgrading and enhancing the academic programmes on a regular basis. I would like to take further opportunity to thank the government for taking a decision to promote TU as a Central University focusing on research. We are planning to implement the decision of the government in near future. With a view to improving quality of education and research, T.U has recently introduced semester system in the Central departments in which we have already begun to see changes especially in curriculum, teaching/learning activities, classroom management, and assessment system. We have also planned to introduce the system gradually in all the campuses (constituent and affiliated) throughout the country. I would like to thank all those scholars, guardians, students and faculties for their invaluable support for the implementation of the semester system.

We are aware that TU has to contribute, through its research and innovation, to the industrial, economic, socio-cultural development of the country. To work towards fulfilling this national accountability, the university and its research centres have prepared a five year strategic plan for strengthening their capacity. Planned action is underway to develop University Campus at Kirtipur as a centre of excellence by developing a cluster of humanities and social sciences, law, management, science and technology and education.

The need of examination reformation has been felt, and regional examination control centres have been established and empowered. The University has introduced open and distance learning mode of education to expand access to higher education to a large number of people, particularly those who are employed and those who cannot attend the classes regularly. We are also planning to maintain database of our administrative staff and faculties through EIMS. Similarly, faculty development programme has been introduced to enhance the efficiency and empower the capability of the faculty. We are also planning to establish a teaching hospital in the premises of University Campus to address the need and demand of the country. I humbly request the entire faculty, staff and the students to extend their cooperation and show firm commitment to make this university a centre for higher education of high merit and order.

Once again I would like to extend by best wishes to all the faculty, staff and students for their commitment, hard work and dedication on which the quality of university education depends, and the reputation of the university rests. Finally I make an appeal to all concerned to help develop TU into a shrine of learning and place honored for its education and research.

Academic Programmes In the 55th year of its establishment, the university family remains committed and dedicated to making the university a source and centre of quality education, setting up a culture of learning in the country and promoting the notion of national and global peace and harmony. This year, the Tribhuvan university has made a decision to start semester system at the Central Departments. All the departments, except the Central Department of Law, have already started first semester classes. This systemic change has been introduced to enforce an academic calendar, to make students full time students dedicated to their studies, to reduce financial burden on students and their parents by making the students complete the degree in time, to respond to the growing concern of the stakeholders about enhancing the academic quality of university education through academic rigour, to revitalize the fame, popularity, credibility and contribution of the university as the oldest centre of higher learning and the central and leading university of Nepal.

From the forthcoming academic session, the university will extend the semester system outside the central departments. This is really going to prove a daunting task for such a large university spread all over the country. However, if the nation prioritizes education and gives desirable financial support to the university, TU will definitely move ahead on the path of achieving academic excellence and will be able to supply capable manpower to meet the growing challenges of the time.

Since its inception, TU, the state owned university, has expanded its programmes in different disciplines. There are 5 technical

institutes and 4 general faculties. TU offers proficiency certificate level courses only in nursing. It has a wide range of course offerings in Bachelor’s and Master’s levels. TU offers M. Phil. and Ph.D. degree in different disciplines both at the Technical Institutes and Faculties.

TU ran its programmes only through its constituent campuses prior to 1980. As the number of the students willing to acquire higher education was increasing day by day, it was not possible for the university to accommodate all the students in the constituent campuses. This situation led to the establishment of colleges in the private sector. From 1979 –80, TU started providing affiliation to private colleges to conduct various programmes at different levels. One thousand fifty three (1053) private colleges spread all over the country have so far received affiliations from TU.

In the current academic session (2014-2015) altogether 4,05,341 students have been enrolled at various levels of TU academic Programmes. 1,48,141 (36.55%) students study in its 60 constituent campuses including 38 central departments, while 2,57,200 (63.45%) students study in 1053 affiliated colleges. It clearly reveals that affiliated colleges do have more students than the constituent campuses.

TU has 7966 teaching faculty and 7230 non-teaching staff including the support staff in its constituent campuses. The total number of employees is 15196 including 124 new posts of the Manmohan Cardiothorasic Centre.

Natural History MuseumThe Natural History Museum (NHM) is situated on a hummock of the world heritage site of ancient Swayambhu stupa. This museum was established in 1975 under the management of Institute of Science & Technology, Tribhuvan University, with some original objectives of collecting, preserving, conducting studies and displaying the natural heritage of our country. Museums like NHM enable people to explore collections for inspiration, learning and enjoyment. They are institutions that collect, safeguard and make accessible the collections and specimens, which they hold in trust for the society. The foci of NHM are tracing, collecting and preserving the holistic natural artefacts on the subjects of Anthropology, Botany, Geography, Geology, Earth history, Zoology and many more like evolution, environmental issues and biodiversity.

ObjectivesThe mission of NHM (www.nhmnepal.edu.np) is to initiate and encourage researches on various subjects of natural science, which are very significant to the national and international levels. It is understood that the current objectives of this museum are to:

• Collect and preserve specimens of flora, fauna, geological rocks etc.

• Help and study natural resources, ecology and environment of Nepal.

• Provide training on natural history of Nepal.

• Establish partnership cooperation with different communities of similar objectives in Nepal and abroad.

• Create general interest on the conservation of natural heritages and related subjects.

• Publish literatures like Journal of Natural History Museum (published regularly since 1977).

• Provide information, images and technical support to Postal Services Department to issue postage stamps on the themes of fauna, flora and others.

• Provide CITES related services to Government of Nepal organizations like Department of Forest, Department of National Parks and Wildlife Conservation etc.

Collections of natural history artefacts in Natural History MuseumThis museum has a gallery of permanent exhibition of several specimens of plants and animals. And, also it has huge collection of Nepal's bio–diversity.

CITES scientific authority for faunaThe NHM is the scientific authority in fauna for CITES (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora) in Nepal and is conducting training programs on CITES related issues to allied individuals and organizations in Nepal since 1990. And, also works for Nepal Government by identifying the individual species so that necessary legal actions are taken against the poachers and carriers of such items.

Library and publicationsThe Natural History Museum has its own library with books, journals, periodicals and magazines on natural science related subjects. The library service is available at any time during the working hours.

The museum has been regularly publishing the Journal of Natural History Museum since its inception. This journal has the honor of being one of the oldest journals in the areas of biodiversity and nature conservation. The journal is circulated to major institutions of the world. The online version of 27th volume of the Journal has been successfully launched. Books, brochures and posters published by Natural History Museum are also available at the reception of the museum hall.

Museum spaceEven after more than three decades of its establishment, the museum does not have enough space for housing the specimens. Its present location is within the world heritage site where no construction is allowed, and hence further extension has become impossible. Though the museum has great potential to foster and develop, it cannot maintain its standard without proper housing facilities that meet international standards. As the congestion of space has obstructed the display of the specimens, museum needs an extension in physical facilities for proper accommodation of the growing collection awaiting systematic exhibition.

ScopeThe collection is wide in scope and boasts particular strengths in flora and fauna. Natural History Museum provides space to native and foreign naturalists, friends of nature and nature lovers to work voluntarily in the museum as well as herbal garden. The museum also invites researchers to work with the team of the museum in flora, fauna and paleontology of Nepal. Through implementation of its objectives the museum hopes to expand the scope of the collections and continues its significant work in biodiversity and conservation.

Within the last one year (July 2013 to June 2014), the NHM with its limited resources have initiate frameworks of holistic development. One of such context is the issue of four postage stamps by Postal Service Department on 31st December 2013 with the theme of First Natural History Museum Stamps Series: Fossils of Nepal (in the collection of Natural History Museum) by Nepal Government Postal Service Department on 31st December 2013. This is for the first time in the history of Natural History Museum that the Postal Service Department was convinced to

issue stamps with the logo of Natural History Museum These beautiful stamps bear the images and fossils of the animals that were found on the ancient lands of Nepal.

On 18th May 2014, Natural History Museum organized a programme to commemorate these stamps with 4 different postal marks from Kathmandu GPO on 4 different officially authorized commemorative covers. These covers were inaugurated by the Vice chancellor of Tribhuvan University Prof. Dr. Hira Bahadur Maharjan. On the occasion Tribhuvan University Service Commission Chairman Prof. Dr. I. C. Dutta, Rector Prof. Guna Nidhi Neupane, Registrar Prof. Dr. Chandramani Paudel, IOST Dean Chirika Shova Tamrakar and many other officials from Central Office were present.

Future plansThe NHM building at Swayambhu requires an immediate and express master plan, with the present day technology, needs to be formulated. Furthermore, with curatorial guidance many officials are needed for the better management of this museum. In addition to the traditional management of NHM, the 21st century requirement demands the content of the collections in the form of images, audio and visual effects and interactive exhibits. There should be persons who are able to design the exhibits in the form of high resolution images with detail information via the internet also. This means that there should be departments that include audio–visual specialists, computer engineers, software designers, audience research and evaluation specialists, writers, editors etc.

It is the true fact that organizations like these needs fixed funds for administration and development received from the umbrella organization. The museum can also independently generate extra funds by launching several extra activities. There are several examples of fund raisings by the museum itself to assist the financial status by levying small requisite amounts by giving the service via internet with the help of modern internet banking systems. Many souvenir items can be manufactured and sold to the viewers. Keeping these points in view, immediate action plans could be formulated.

The only Natural History Museum of Nepal, which has a rich collection of natural heritage of our country, is in the process of scientific plans and policies to formulate a better and robust centre of learning to the general Nepalese public; students and researchers; foreigners; and also to conserve our natural heritage for the sake our future generations.

Visiting hoursThe museum remains open for visitors from 10:30 a.m. to 4:30 PM in summer and 10:30 a.m. to 3:30 PM in winter, and remains on closed on Saturday and other public holidays.
