Dr.Narayan Prasad Gautam
Campus Chief
It gives us great pleasure and pride to highlight that the campus becomes the Quality Assurance Accreditation (QAA) institution certified by the UGC, Nepal, first of its kind in Nepal’s forestry and agriculture higher education in 2022. This will ensure the sustainable management and development of academic and administrative wings of our campus and facilitate it for academic excellence by assessing its performance and weaknesses. We maintain an environment conducive to our students’ broad intellectual growth and greater participation in the life of academic community. We take pride in supporting our students in their endeavor to achieve golden goals, as they remain in constant touch with and seek guidance from our faculty even after their graduation. As our teaching and research at the campus preserve and enrich the creative learning traditions, we are persevering to maintain a center of excellence in forestry and related fields by developing suitable working environment with proper planning and management of the available resources, faculty and staff. To catch up with ever changing need of the students in the forestry profession, we have formulated a five-year strategic plan to establish policy, plan and direction ahead to fulfill the need of forestry professionals for the country.
In addition, we are putting our efforts in creating an international presence. Through our official website, we are proud to present some of the information about education and research undertaken at the campus.
As Campus Chief, I am very thankful to all my predecessors for their contribution to the campus and seek cooperation from all stakeholders (campus management committee, faculty, staff and students) for quality education for all our prospective students. I commit to academic programs well founded on excellence and innovation.
