Education Management Information REPORT on HIGHER EDUCATION 2016/17 A.D EDUCATION MANAGEMENT INFORMATION REPORT ON HIGHER EDUCATION 2016/17 A.D. SYSTEM (2073/74 B.S.) NEPAL Published in 2018 by: University Grants Commision Sanothimi, Bhaktapur, Nepal Post Box : 10796 Telephone : (977-1) 6638548, 6638549, 6638550 Fax : 977-1-6638552 E-mail : [email protected] Website : www.ugcnepal.edu.np Design : Surya Budhathoki (9841190718) [email protected] Print at : Jugal Printers & Traders Anamnagar, Kathmandu Ph. : 01-5705529 Email : [email protected] EDUCATION MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEM / Report on Higher Education 2016/17 A.D. (2073/74 B.S.) FOREWORD he development of Higher Education Information System (HEMIS) has been one of the crucial tasks of UGC in its endeavor towards implementing the national Higher Education Policy that emphasized on credible and Taccountable system of higher education by ensuring its quality, increasing the relevance to national priorities, making it equitable in terms of access, and enhancing academic competitiveness. Higher Education Reform Project (HERP, 2014-2020) supported by the World Bank facilitates the policy implementation including the development of HEMIS. The publication of annual statistical report is one of the main aspects of HEMIS development. This report is the tenth publication in this line. The development of HEMIS is based on a framework of systemic and program indicators, tools for data collection, and parametric, situational as well as trend analyses. This report covers major parts of the H-EMIS indicators and analyses. With the efforts put on higher education system development, stakeholders are increasingly feeling the importance of verifiable data relating to national higher education policy, emphasis on ensuring the access to higher education on the basis of aptitude and equity, criteria based quality assurance, priority based relevance, research based innovation and development, performance based public funding, and shared ownership with public and private stakeholders in the development, operation and management. The challenge is to establish EMIS in each of the higher education institutions in the country with coherent and verifiable data; to publish and share data regularly and on time; and most importantly, to inculcate the culture of data use in planning, monitoring, reform and other relevant development activities. A comprehensive and coordinated HEMIS is very crucial for the country, and thus, UGC is aiming to achieve this by supporting Universities in strengthening their EMIS including that of their system of constituent as well as affiliated campuses. The approach is to develop a national system at UGC to which EMIS modules of all universities can be linked. The main strategy is to develop a web-based compatible EMIS system. Challenges persists in developing such comprehensive EMIS; the first and foremost challenge relates to data generation in a credible and versatile way that supports culmination of publication of verifiable data and real time data sharing. The second challenge relates to agreeing to and use of uniform format for data generation, publication and sharing compatibly. UGC has been facing recurrence of these challenges every year while collecting data for the annual publication EMIS report. Nonetheless, there is high demand for the annual EMIS Report which indicates increasing concern for data and their uses. Besides, UGC EMIS section is also addressing data enquiries from concerned stakeholders including policy level agencies, ministries, and researchers. Particularly, information related to higher education institutions, programs, students, faculty members, and financing are foci of data attention. The data disaggregated by important variables and analyzed in terms of the indicators have helped to provide insights into the related issues. We believe that this publication benefits all the people concerned with higher education planning, program developing, monitoring, and research. UGC would highly appreciate any feedback and suggestions from the readers on this report as well as the EMIS system development.

NARC Publication Serial No 00549- 362/2017/18, National Citrus Research Programme, Paripatle, Dhankuta, Nepal. ii FOREWORD Citrus production has a great potential in Nepalese mid-hills for economic enhancement as well as nutritional supplement among the hill farmers. Although, the production of mandarin and sweet orange has been localized in mid-hills, acid lime production has been widened in hills and terai plains. The released acid lime varieties viz., Sunkagati-1 and Sunkagati-2 are being popular and their saplings demand for commercial orchards have been ever increasing. National Citrus Research Programme (NCRP), Dhankuta has been working in coordination with other stakeholders to fulfill the demand of saplings, suitable varieties and technologies in the country. From this year onwards, NCRP has got a new responsibility to carry out research activities on Sweet Orange (junar) under Prime Minister Agriculture Modernization Project (PMAMP) in Sindhuli and Ramechhap districts. NCRP has to coordinate with Project Implementation Unit of Super Zone Office separately established for sweet orange by Ministry of Agriculture Development under the PMAMP in the respective districts. Despite the chronic shortage of researchers and technical staff, NCRP has been working in full capacity to perform the required research and development activities as mandated by the nation.

  • Madan Bhandari Highway
    Report on Environmental, Social and Economic Impacts of Madan Bhandari Highway DECEMBER 17, 2019 NEFEJ Lalitpur Executive Summary The report of the eastern section of Madan Bhandari Highway was prepared on the basis of Hetauda-Sindhuli-Gaighat-Basaha-Chatara 371 km field study, discussion with the locals and the opinion of experts and reports. •During 2050's,Udaypur, Sindhuli and MakwanpurVillage Coordination Committee opened track and constructed 3 meters width road in their respective districts with an aim of linking inner Madhesh with their respective headquarters. In the background of the first Madhesh Movement, the road department started work on the concept of alternative roads. Initially, the double lane road was planned for an alternative highway of about 7 meters width. The construction of the four-lane highway under the plan of national pride began after the formation of a new government of the federal Nepal on the backdrop of the 2072 blockade and the Madhesh movement. The Construction of Highway was enunciated without the preparation of an Environmental Impact Assessment Report despite the fact that it required EIA before the implementation of the big physical plan of long-term importance. Only the paper works were done on the study and design of the alternative highway concept. The required reports and construction laws were abolished from the psychology that strong reporting like EIA could be a hindrance to the roads being constructed through sensitive terrain like Chure (Siwalik). • During the widening of the roads, 8 thousand 2 hundred and 55 different trees of community forest of Makwanpur, Sindhuli and Udaypur districtsare cut.

  • Nepali Lifeworld and Its Higher Education System: a Critical Assessment of the Dis/Connection
    CHAPTER 3 Nepali Lifeworld and Its Higher Education System: A Critical Assessment of the Dis/Connection Kapil Dev Regmi Abstract Higher education is understood as a key educational sector for preparing young adults to fulfil the human resource needs of the global capital market. This chapter, using Habermasian theorisation of the lifeworld, challenges this understanding as inade- quate for its ignorance of cultural, social and individual needs and argues for making the higher education sector responsive to the local contexts. Keywords Nepal – lifeworld – Habermas – higher education 1 Introduction A dominant body of literature (OECD, 1996; World Bank, 2002) takes higher education as a vehicle for creating competitive knowledge-based economies (KBE). However, in recent years, scholars (Brown-Luthango, 2013; Hall, 2009, 2019; McMahon, 2009; Murray, 2009; Regmi, 2019c; Strier, 2014) have critiqued the idea of creating competitive KBE and focussed on making higher educa- tion more responsive to the needs of local communities, especially in develop- ing countries such as Nepal. Higher education system in Nepal started with the establishment of Tri- Chandra College, the first higher education institution of Nepal, established in 1918. The curricula used by Tri-Chandra College were borrowed from Patna Uni- versity, an Indian university established by the British colonial rulers (Regmi, 2019c). The first university of Nepal, Tribhuvan University, was established in 1959. As its main objective was to produce graduates capable of getting employ- ment in the job market, almost nothing was done to connect its teaching and research to Nepal’s contemporary community contexts.

  • Switching Over to Identity Politics Nepali Left Political Parties Have
    1 1. Introduction: Switching over to Identity Politics Nepali left political parties have come to regard caste and ethnicity equivalent to class disseminating new ethnic-based identity that demonstrates how the very foundation of communist ideology has been shifting from class into identity politics. The politics of identity that emerged and spread from 1990 received prominence in Nepali politics especially after 2006 April Uprising which ultimately popped up as an apple of discord when political parties failed to deliver new constitution through the Constituent Assembly (CA) bickering over it. Ultimately, the CA got dissolved on May 27, 2012 after parties apparently failed to make consensus on identity-based federalism. Though a number of identity-based organizations emerged before 2006 as well, the trends of forming identity-based organizations and focusing on identity groups rather than class soared after the second people's movement. Moreover, polarization due to the identity politics has heightened in Nepali politics after the CA dissolution. Left political parties of Nepal who are guided by the Marxist slogan as 'Worker's of all countries, unite' gradually gave way to identity politics that was diluted from 'class struggle' itself. As the time changes, everything changes with it except the 'change' itself. Same is the case with ideology. It shifts from one to the other as Daniel Bell in his book " The End of Ideology: on the Exhaustion of Political Ideas in the Fifties" claims that the older humanistic ideologies developed during the nineteenth and early twentieth century is ebbing gradually (1960). During 1960s and 70s, in contrast to the logic of Marxist and Neo-Marxist theory, social movements were focused on culture and identity such as civil rights and women's movements challenging the class structure (Bernstein 49).

  • 168 Maharjan, History of Cinema Censor Board
    Bodhi, 4 (1), 168-190. ISSN 2091-0479. © 2010 Kathmandu University 168 Maharjan, History of cinema censor board ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Machinery of state control: History of cinema censor board in Nepal1 - Harsha Man Maharjan Inside film industry, film censor board is a small but important institution. In Nepal, this institution always works as the structure to fulfill the interest of the state. Sex, violence and politics are main reasons of cinema censorship but meaning and acceptance of these issues are changing in Nepal. This article argues that it is right time to rethink the work of the censor board. Instead of scissoring cinemas, it has to grade them. Introduction Cinema/Film Censor Board is a small entity of a film industry, and it is a global practice. However, who forms this entity differs among countries. For example, in Britain and the US, film industries have established this mechanism. But in countries like India and Nepal, the state has established the censor board and the board is basically the machinery of state control. It orders to scissor the scenes which it feels objectionable/harmful to the society and the state. It even denies certification to movies and dubs them banned if the whole cinema is assumed to be unsuitable for the state and society. 1 This article is a longer version of what I published in Republica (Maharjan, 2010) . Here I have corrected some factual errors I did in newspaper article due to the lack of data. I am indebted to Shiva Regmi for providing information and documents I used in this study.
