    Tribhuvan University Kirtipur, Kathmandu, Nepal July 17, 2013 Message from the Vice-Chancellor It gives me immense pleasure that TU Today is coming up with the updated information on Tribhuvan University (TU) in its 54th year of establishment. On this occasion, I would like to thank the Information Section, TU, and all those involved in the publica- tion of TU Today. Furthermore, I take this opportunity to express my gratitude to the teaching faculty whose relentless work, dedication and honest contribution has helped the university open up innovative academic programmes, maintain the quality of education, and enhance teaching and research. I also thank the administrative staff for effi ciently bearing the management responsibility. Nonetheless, I urge the faculty and the staff for their additional devotion, commitment and effi ciency to retain TU as one of the quality higher education institutions in the country. It is an objective reality among us that TU has been the fi rst choice of a large number of students and guardians for higher education. I sincerely thank for their trust on TU for higher education and express my unwavering determination and commitment to serve them the best by providing excellent academic opportunity. I would like to urge the students to help the university maintain its academic ethos by managing politics, maximiz- ing learning activities, and respecting the ideals of university without condition. Despite its commitment to enhance and impart quality education, TU faces many challenges in governance and resource management for providing basic infrastructure and educational facilities required for quality education environment. In spite of limited infrastructures and educational facilities, it has been producing effi cient and competent graduates.
