Kathmandu- A new university will come into existence as the government registered a bill in the Secretariat of Parliament on Monday. The new University will be called Madan Bhandari University of Science and Technology, and it will include a wide range of streams from science and technology to humanities.
This university will be located in Chitlang of Makwanpur district. Huge controversies surround this university's establishment as critics suggest this is no different from other Nepali universities.
There are big talks about its establishment, but the bill drafted by the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology in consent with the University Grants Commission is still in its endorsement phase by the parliament, which will help pass all the legal hurdles the successful setup.
As the budget was sanctioned by the government last month, the initial proposal was to set up a technical university based on technical education. Still, with the bill reaching its finalizing phase, the proposed University was just another general one.
As Madan Bhandari University is quite like the other universities, huge questions were raised about its importance. With other prevalent universities not meeting the desired success, Madan Bhandari might only be one new to the old list.
