Institutional Background

Chure Campus was established as a community-owned campus in 2063 BS.

The campus is located in the village area of Bardiya district at Ward No. 3 of Thakurbaba Municipality, in Lumbini Province. Its institutional identity is tied to community participation, local educational leadership, and service to students from socially and economically disadvantaged backgrounds, including women and historically marginalized communities.

Teaching Faculty and Learning Methodology

The source material presents Chure Campus as a campus supported by a mix of teaching and administrative staff across bachelor’s and master’s programs. It also notes a digitalization initiative connected with the campus information system and refers to both physical presence and online teaching activity.

Across the TU programs reflected in the source pack, learning is not limited to lecture classes alone. The academic structure includes assignments, project work, seminars, case studies, field studies, final project components, teaching practice, and thesis work where the program requires them. At the campus level, this aligns with the stated use of classroom teaching, administrative data systems, and digital support tools already installed on campus.

The message from Campus Chief Rudra Bahadur Khadka places emphasis on widening higher education access in the Bardiya area, maintaining regular teaching activity, and making use of the digital and physical systems available to students.

Student Life and Campus Experience

Student life at Chure Campus is shaped by its community base, mixed academic levels, and wide catchment area. The source material records enrollment of 703 students across bachelor’s and master’s streams and shows participation from multiple social groups, including Brahman, Chhetri, Madhesi, Dalit, Muslim, Tharu, and Janajati communities.

The campus experience also reflects its geographic role. Students come not only from Bardiya but also from surrounding and distant districts, which gives the institution a broader regional character than a single-locality college. Transport support through the campus bus, scholarship schemes, library access, and on-campus facilities contribute to how students use the institution day to day.

The campus history and current academic structure both point to a local institution built around educational continuity. For many students, Chure Campus functions as a nearby route into TU higher education without leaving the region for study.
