Campus Overview
Janajyoti Campus was established after receiving affiliation from Tribhuvan University and has continued to function as a local center of higher education in western Gulmi. It is situated at Kankedeurali in Madane Rural Municipality-6, Purkot Daha, Gulmi. The campus was founded through the support of education-minded local people, intellectuals, political groups, and contributors living both in Nepal and abroad.
The campus emerged in a region where access to higher education was limited. Its establishment reduced the need for students from surrounding rural areas to travel far for bachelor-level study. This has given local students a practical option to continue higher education within their own geographic region.
Students studying at Janajyoti Campus come mainly from Madane Rural Municipality and nearby local bodies such as Malarnani Rural Municipality of Arghakhanchi, Phimkhur Rural Municipality of Pyuthan, Dhurkot Rural Municipality, and Malika Rural Municipality.
Academic Programs
Janajyoti Campus offers bachelor-level education under Tribhuvan University. The campus currently runs the Bachelor of Education program under the Faculty of Education.
Bachelor of Education (B.Ed.)
The Bachelor of Education (B.Ed.) is a four-year bachelor-level program under TU’s Faculty of Education with an annual examination system. The program is designed for students who want to pursue higher study in education and related teaching fields.
At Janajyoti Campus, the Education faculty includes major subject areas such as:
-
English
-
Nepali
-
Economics
For admission to the four-year B.Ed. program, applicants must have completed Grade 12, Higher Secondary, PCL, or an equivalent qualification recognized for admission to the program. Academic registration, examinations, and results follow TU rules, guidelines, and the applicable academic calendar. Final examinations under the annual system are conducted by TU through the Office of the Controller of Examinations.
Access and Inclusion
One of the notable features of Janajyoti Campus is its social role in expanding higher education access. The campus has helped bring bachelor-level education closer to students from poor, Dalit, women, and economically disadvantaged communities in the area.
The campus also reports a higher number of female students than male students. It is also notable for the participation of married women and daughters-in-law in higher education, reflecting the campus’s role in widening educational access within rural communities.
Scholarship schemes are available for economically and socially deprived students. This support aligns with the institution’s community-based purpose and its local educational mission.

Institutional Role in the Region
Janajyoti Campus has become a practical higher education option for students in a region that previously had limited campus access. Its location at the junction of western Gulmi, Pyuthan, and Arghakhanchi gives it a wider service area than a single local community campus.
The campus has also played a role in supporting educational continuity for rural students who may face economic, geographic, or social barriers. Its contribution is especially visible in providing local access to bachelor-level education in education studies.
