Quick Highlights

Establishment and Community Ownership

Libju Community Campus was established in Manebhanjyang in 2081 BS (2024 AD). Its ownership by Manebhanjyang Rural Municipality gives it a direct institutional connection with the local government.

The purpose behind establishing the campus is closely connected with local access to higher education. Residents of the service area who had been unable to continue their studies because of the absence of a nearby higher education institution were identified as an important group the campus intended to serve.

The rural municipality has committed support for the operation of the campus across financial, physical, and educational areas. This local-government involvement forms an important part of the campus's institutional structure and its effort to keep bachelor-level study available within Manebhanjyang.

Location
