Physical Progress

Infrastructure Overview

Building 1:

Two-story main building with 6 rooms, covering 88426 sq. ft. Window shutters and painting work are pending. The top floor has a ceiling and carpeting. A library room has been fully completed with space for 30 students to study at once.

Building 2:

 A two-room building (48×17 sq. ft.) adjacent to the main building. The roof and veranda are incomplete. Due to a lack of roofing, window frames on the ground floor are unprotected.

Construction was initiated under the Peace and Development Program of the Ministry of Peace, but the project stalled following a restructuring. In FY 074/75, NPR 800,000 from Shadananda Municipality funded further construction, including ceiling slab and window installation. The ground floor is in use for classrooms; the upper story and veranda remain pending.

Building 3:

Located in Tungechha, this two-story, four-room building (62×22 sq. ft.) was funded by the Constituency Development Program during Minister Kripasur Sherpa’s term.

Due to delayed work, NPR 1.5 million was frozen. In FY 074/75, Shadananda Municipality allocated NPR 1.45 million for additional construction. The building still requires plastering, window and door fittings, and finishing.

Building 4:

A 65×25 sq. ft. structure funded by NPR 5 million from the University Grants Commission in FY 076/77. The contract process was completed through an e-bidding system. However, due to delays, only the DPC (Damp Proof Course) was completed, and NPR 2.5 million remained unused.

In FY 078/79, NPR 5 million was again allocated by the Commission, with an additional NPR 2.1 million from the Municipality. Construction was contracted to Baitar Construction and completed in FY 079/80.

Although budgeted at NPR 7.3 million, the contract was issued for a lower amount. Irregularities were reported to the Commission for Investigation of Abuse of Authority.

Building 5:

A five-room building constructed under NPR 1 million grant from Province No. 1’s Ministry of Social Development during FY 078/79.

Flooring, plastering, veranda, window shutters, and ceiling work remain incomplete. Complaints of irregularities and a non-operational library were submitted to the Commission.

Building 6:

A two-story building funded by NPR 5 million from the Koshi Province Urban Development Office. First-floor slab completed in FY 079/80. Construction continued through FY 080/81 and 081/82.

The building has 8 rooms. A total of 20 classrooms are required to accommodate all programs. Due to a shortage, classes are also run in partitioned library and hallway spaces.

Infrastructural Development

Educational Equipment (ICT, Lab Equipment)

The campus currently owns:

• 2 laptops

• 14 desktop computers

• 2 projectors

4 printers (Canon 2900, Brother DCP 2550, Epson 805, Canon 1310) Of these, 1 laptop, 2 desktops, and 1 projector were purchased through UGC grants. In FY 075/76, 9 desktops and tables were acquired through the ICT Management Program under the Province 1 Ministry of Social Development, Education Directorate, Dhankuta.

These devices are installed in a carpeted and wired classroom. In FY 076/77, the University Grants Commission provided NPR 200,000 for equipment procurement. Additional funding from Province 1 enabled the purchase of 8 batteries and an inverter.

With NPR 226,000, the campus also installed campus management software, a website, and an e-attendance system. The Shadananda Municipality donated one laptop.

The campus shares a digital library server developed by Oli Nepal with e-learning materials, books, journals, and educational videos by Khan Academy. It is accessible through both mobile and desktop platforms. A hybrid solar system (2 solar panels of 150W each and 2 batteries) was installed to support 24-hour e-library access. The system is currently inactive due to inverter malfunction.

Currently, 3 classrooms are wired for ICT-supported teaching. Rooms in Buildings 2 and 5 are yet to be wired. In FY 080/81, 2 smartboards were installed through grants provided via Shadananda Municipality.

Books, Journals, and Reference Materials

The campus library has recorded a total of 3,307 books.

The collection includes:

• 267 books in English

• 730 books in Nepali

• 2 books in Sanskrit

• 2 books in Hindi

The library room accommodates up to 30 students at a time. It is equipped with carpeting and proper electrical wiring. In FY 076/77, two double racks and three single-sided racks were added. Books are categorized and shelved according to the Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC) system.

However, there are still some limitations in automating the library due to the lack of trained staff, barcode reader machines, and high-speed internet access. At the end of FY 079/80, the University Grants Commission provided a grant of NPR 500,000, which was used to purchase additional books.

Library Management Improvements

Since FY 076/77, books in the library have been systematically recorded using the PMB library software. The campus has initiated the move away from manual ledger-based transactions.

Through the Online Public Access Catalogue (OPAC), users can now search the library’s catalog from any location via the internet. This allows students and faculty to verify the availability of a particular book without visiting the library in person.

All books have spine labels and are arranged according to the Dewey Decimal Classification system, which makes it easier to locate required reading materials promptly.

The campus library’s OPAC link is hosted on its website and can be accessed via:
