The committee includes representatives from the campus administration, the professors’ association, the Free Student Union, and the campus management committee.
Chairman of the Campus Management Committee and Mayor of Lahan Municipality, Mahesh Prasad Chaudhary, stated that this initiative aims to raise the academic standard of Lahan.
Investment Alone Not Enough—Monitoring Is Key
Mayor Chaudhary remarked:
"We have concluded that investments in education will not yield results without continuous monitoring. Lahan Municipality is fully committed to investing, but investments alone are not enough. Proper monitoring is essential to ensure results."
