Mansarovar Multiple Campus Resumes Classes in Humla After Long Closure
Mansarovar Multiple Campus, the first community campus in Humla district, has resumed regular classes after remaining closed for nearly a decade. The campus had stopped regular teaching activities in 2071 BS due to the lack of regular teaching staff and resource limitations.
According to Campus Chief Deepak Bhandari, the campus has now arranged five part-time professors to restart academic activities. Classes have begun under the Faculty of Education, with subjects including English, Nepali, Health Education, and related areas. On the first day of reopening, lectures were conducted in three of the five subjects.
Bhandari said the campus management has made contractual arrangements with part-time professors and will provide remuneration after course completion. He also urged enrolled students to attend classes regularly so that teaching and learning can continue without disruption.
The campus currently has 223 students enrolled in four-year undergraduate programs. Although the regular classes had stopped earlier, students continued to remain connected with the campus through admission processes, examination form submission, and exam participation.
Mansarovar Multiple Campus was established in 2066 BS as a community campus. During its first five years, classes were conducted regularly with arranged teaching staff. The campus is also preparing to resume teaching under humanities and social sciences. From the current academic session, postgraduate-level study has also started, with 45 students enrolled.
For basic facilities and operational management, the campus plans to manage water supply and other required resources through support from the rural municipality, Tribhuvan University, and student fees.
The reopening of Mansarovar Multiple Campus is significant for students in Humla, where access to higher education remains limited by geography, infrastructure, and institutional resources.
