From its inception, the campus has enjoyed generous support from individuals and groups.

The campus expresses heartfelt gratitude to all donors, land contributors, building constructors, volunteers, industrialists, traders, politicians, intellectuals, social workers, representatives and media friends for their invaluable support.

Student Facilities and Scholarships

To provide accessible education, the campus participates in SHEP HERP and other programs aimed at talented, economically disadvantaged, Dalit, Janajati, indigenous, minority and underserved students. Urla Bari Municipality provides scholarships to 20 students each year. With limited resources, the campus also offers partial free tuition. When three children of the same parents study at the campus, the tuition fee for one child is fully waived. Educational tours are organized under campus supervision to support students’ academic, intellectual, professional and personal development.

Division of Responsibilities and QAA Process

To ensure efficient and transparent operations, the management committee has formed several sub‑committees. The IQAC and SAT sub‑committees actively drive quality assurance efforts. The campus has been working towards obtaining QAA certification for several years. On Shrawan 15, 2079, experts from the EQAAC department of the University Grants Commission conducted a one‑day site visit and provided guidance. Following the implementation of these suggestions, the campus renewed its Letter of Intent (LOI) at the end of 2079. The LOI was approved by EQAAC in Jestha 2080, along with the campus’s self‑study report.

Continuing these efforts, a preparatory study visit took place from Magh 24 to 26, 2080, led by Prof. Dr. Basudev Kafle and QAA Secretariat staff member Navina Chaulagain. Their detailed report offered profound insights, and the campus is diligently implementing the recommendations. Documents such as the self‑study evaluation report, detailed master plan, IQAC guidelines and PRT response have been submitted to the relevant authority. After implementing further improvements, the campus expects a final visit from EQAAC soon, with the goal of becoming QAA Certified. Sub‑committees for construction, library, teaching, research and publications have all made commendable contributions to this process.

Student, Faculty and Staff Numbers

Since starting with the proficiency certificate level in 2043, student numbers have fluctuated but have risen steadily in recent years. This year the campus had 1,496 students. There are 39 teachers and 14 non‑teaching staff. The campus takes pride in its 36‑year history of producing skilled graduates who have achieved success both at home and abroad.

Library, Computer Lab and Educational Materials

The campus library holds 10,280 books, including textbooks, reference books and journals. The library has been expanded and efforts are underway to develop it into an e‑library. To support this, the campus invites library experts from the Central Campus of Technology in Dharan and from the Tribhuvan University Central Library (Koshi and Madhesh Province representatives) and international master trainers to provide training to faculty, staff and students on online resources. Plans include increasing the number of computers, completing the e‑library building quickly and further expanding and strengthening the library.
