Nepal Sanskrit University central office, Beljhundi, which was locked five months ago, was opened on Friday. The lock was opened on Friday after a five-point agreement was reached between the university's negotiation committee and the Maoist-aligned Aneraswaviyu revolutionaries.
Aneraswaviyu revolutionaries had locked the main gate of the central office of the university on December 12 with various demands. Last February, the office of the research center was locked. After the lockdown, the university formed a negotiation committee under the coordination of the executive director of the National Center for Cultural Studies, German Chaudhary.
After failing to reach consensus, the committee resigned within two months. After that, a three-member negotiation committee was formed under the chairmanship of Professor Arjun Prasad Bhattarai. Among the members of the committee were Vice-Professor Vinod Acharya and Deputy Administrator Anil Pokhrel.
It has been agreed between the university and Aneraswaviyu Krantikari to purchase practical materials to facilitate teaching and learning in the Central Ayurveda Vidyapeeth of the university within the coming June. There is another agreement to take the proposal to the next university assembly to arrange the necessary hospital, manpower and materials for experimental exercises.
In order to make the examination system of the university fair and fearless, it has been agreed that the dean, assistant dean and principal of the Institute of Ayurveda are monitoring bodies, so that they will not be involved in the preparation of question papers, examination of answer sheets and evaluation. It is also agreed that based on the complaints received about
officials, the executive council will conduct an investigation within a month and reconstitute them if they are found guilty.
