Prof. Dr. Tej Bahadur Thapa, Head of Department 2. Mr. Pitambar Dhakal, Lecturer 3. Mr. Ganga Ram KC, Section Officer 4. Mr. Mahesh Basnet, Accountant Officer [iv] Executive Summary The annual report of the Central Department of Zoology (CDZ) has synthesized various activities carried out by the department in the fiscal year 2076/77. This report is based on the database of the students enrolled, their graduation trend or drop out in the last three academic years, income sources, expenditure trend, existing facilities, and infrastructure and laboratory instrument available at the department. Student enrolment is stable with occupancy of full quota every year. However, in Zoology, there is an increasing trend of students appearing in the entrance examination for M.Sc. It explicitly reflects the attraction of students in the field of Zoology. As far as the students drop out trend is concerned, it was negligible as few students preferred to choose the universities abroad for higher education. The graduate trends among the enrolled students were quite high and satisfactory. Among the graduated students, most of them are involved in teaching and research in Universities of affiliated college and some have joined civil service sector or NGOs, or self employment in the field of applied Zoology such as fish farming, bee keeping, animal husbandry, and so forth. Considering the social responsibility of the public academic institution, CDZ is always in close and regular communication with the government organizations, local authorities, research institutions and communities. The department has been continuously involved towards generating awareness in plethora of biological processes, services and conservation needs of the species. The work plan and budget for the current and next fiscal year along with other relevant data have been included in the annex of the report.

Background Department of Zoology was established in 1965 with the mandates of producing qualified man power on Zoology, carrying out research, and advising Government on matters of faunal resources. In 1987 it was upgraded as Central Department of Zoology is now one of the largest departments among the Central Departments under the Institute of Science and Technology (IoST), Tribhuvan University. The department has been offering Master's and PhD programs in Zoology, and has produced over 2000 M. Sc. and 16 doctoral level graduates. The CDZ is endowed with well qualified, competent and committed faculty members with specializations in diverse fields of Zoology viz Ecology, Entomology, Fish and Fisheries, Parasitology, and Molecular biology. Besides this, department also has a group of dedicated staff in administration, finance, library, information technology and laboratory to support academic and research activities of the departments. Master’s curriculum of Zoology has been revised and updated considering international standard in order to meet the national demand of qualified and research oriented human resources in the diverse fields of Zoology. The curriculum encompasses the fundamental theoretical aspects on Zoology, experimental learning, field works, seminar and thesis. It is mandatory to all students to carry out thesis under the supervision of a faculty member of the concerned stream. The thesis work provides opportunity to learn fundamentals of research methodology, and document research results in the form of a thesis and publication of article/s in a peer reviewed journal. The thesis should be at a high level of originality and should examine a problem in depth. There is increasing trends of publishing the articles in peer reviewed national and international journals. CDZ has established research nexus with other national research laboratories for the academic benefit of the students. This annual report is prepared on the basis of analyses and summary of the various activities conducted and progress made by the department in the Fiscal Year 2076/2077. The report includes the human resources and physical resources available at the department, academic progresses including 1 ANNUAL REPORT 2076/077 programs, enrolment trends, pass rate/graduation trend analysis, educational pedagogy, physical facilities and progress status (infrastructure, educational aids and equipments, ICT and Lab, Books/Journals, furniture), financial progress (income and expenditure) and upcoming plan and strategies of the department. 1.1 Human Resources CDZ is providing academic services through seventeen faculty members specialized in various fields of Zoology (Table 1). A complete list of them with academic qualification has been annexed (Annex – I). Most of the faculty members received PhDs from reputed Universities abroad and have long experience of research and have number of publications in national and international peer reviewed journals.

Currently department has a capacity to enroll 60 students in MSc in every academic year; however the number of applicants for entrance examination is always in increasing trend. 2.2. Enrolment Trend Analysis of the Last Three Academic Years The student enrollment trend in M. Sc. Zoology was stable due to fixed quota of 60 per batch, however there is increasing pressure. Trend analysis showed that the number of female student is comparatively higher than males with variable proportions every year (Figure 1). As far as the student from disadvantaged group is concerned, the number is more than 6% in each batch but variable in number. 80 60 40 2074 20 2075 0 Total Male Female EDJ 2076 Number of students Categories of admitted students in three … Figure 1.

ABSTRACT The surprising difference in elevation present within a small width, no doubt gives enough head for hydropower generation in most of the rivers of Nepal. The hydropower potential of any river can be assessed by realistic, up to date and useful information from recent advances in remote sensing, geographic information system and hydrological modelling [1]. This research aims for the assessment of the RoR hydropow- er potential using spatial technology and SWAT (Soil and Water Assessment Tool) modeling in Seti Gandaki River, Kaski, Nepal. The DEM, daily precipitation, minimum and maximum temperature data, discharge records, land use and soil data were used for the SWAT model setup 2 and simulation. The model was calibrated (2000-2010) and validated (2011-2015) with model performance of 0.85 R , 0.85 ENS and 2.19 % PBAIS.

    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.

    The Landscape of Social Science and Humanities Journals Published from Nepal: an Analysis of Its Structural Characteristics

    THE LANDSCAPE OF SOCIAL SCIENCE AND HUMANITIES JOURNALS PUBLISHED FROM NEPAL: AN ANALYSIS OF ITS STRUCTURAL CHARACTERISTICS Pratyoush Onta Introduction As is the case elsewhere, practitioners of social science and humanities research in Nepal have created and published their own written media to communicate their findings and analyses to their academic peers, students and the interested public at large. These media have come in the form of academic articles published in journals, as stand-alone papers or chapters in edited volumes, and as full-length monographs.1 Such forms of communication are crucial to the progress of any disciplined inquiry in the social sciences and humanities. In European history, prototypes of such journals (with the word ‘journal’ in the title) had been brought into existence by the late 17th century. During the first half of the 19th century, several journals focused on specific domains of research were founded. Some of the influential journals that are still being published were established in the mid- and late-19th century by various individuals (Steig 1986). In contrast, Nepal had to wait until 1952 to see its first academic journal. This is not surprising given the intolerance of the Rana regime (1846–1951) to most forms of social inquiry.2 That said, we might still want to ask: ‘What is an academic journal?’ Perhaps a broad definition would serve our purpose here: publications described as journals by its academic editors and producers (and this can be any person, group or institution) that appear in a series that can be numbered by volume (1, 2, 3, etc.) or volume and issue combination (such as volume 1 no 1, volume 1 no 2, etc.) can be called journals.

    March 13th -14th, 2021 About SONSIK Since 1990 Nepalese students had started studying in South Korea. However, after 2000 only the students flow at South Korea was increased rapidly. Even after rapid increase of students flow at South Korea there did very few students know each other and less opportunity to share knowledge/ experience gained after coming in Korea. On 2004 group of intellectuals from different university gathered at Sun Moon University, Cheonan Korea, after deep thought and discussion Society of Nepalese Students in Korea (SONSIK) was established and had its first official meeting at Sun Moon University. Initially the goal of SONSIK was to have frequent meeting with different Nepalese scholars in Korea with the changing time the mission which began 17 years ago is still the goal today to share/strengthen the bond and knowledge between more than 5000 fellow members of Korean Universities. Furthermore, the goal is set a step ahead to make SONSIK the only intellectual organization where the policy maker can look up to. Over the past years we have grown beyond Korean peninsula and our effort have not gone unnoticed. For the proper functioning of the organization SONSIK has an annual basis formal structural executive body to manage indented plans.
