Candidates for the House of Representatives elections on Falgun 21 have vowed to convert Karnali Technical College into a university. Some have issued a pledge, some have issued a pledge, and some have issued a resolution to upgrade Karnali Technical College and convert it into a university.
UML Jumla has issued a pledge and mentioned in point number 3 that it will give priority to making Karnali Technical School an agricultural and mountaineering university. The Congress has resolved in point number 2 of the pledge to make the school a technical university. Pragatisheel Loktantrik Party candidate Manakrishi Dhital has also issued a pledge and stated that he will make a concrete plan for the reform of Karnali Technical School.
Although the issues of repairing the dilapidated building of the technical school established in 2037 BS, organizing teaching and adding rooms are not prioritized, candidates are now going door to door promising to make the school a university. ‘No one paid attention for four decades,’ said local Kar Bahadur Kathayat, ‘I do not believe that the promises made during the election will be fulfilled.’
The school is currently operating on the old dilapidated physical structure. Students’ attraction towards technical education seems to be increasing. But the candidate's promise to convert the school, which has not been upgraded, into a university is not winning the hearts of voters.
From the 2064 Constituent Assembly to the 2079 House of Representatives elections, this school does not seem to have caught the eye of the elected representatives. Civil society president Raj Bahadur Mahat says that building a university that cannot be funded by state resources will be limited to the agenda. 'The issue of building a university is not within the control of the candidates. It is an issue that cannot be done even if they take the initiative,' he said, 'The school currently does not have adequate infrastructure. Parties are promising to build a university. It is doubtful that this school will be upgraded. An agenda that cannot be fulfilled cannot win the hearts of voters.'
Karnali Technical School has already produced more than 6,000 skilled manpower. Nearly 4,000 skilled manpower produced by the school are working in various positions in the state. However, the school is operating on the same 43-year-old structure. The dormitories are running under leaky roofs. Currently, there are 58 buildings in the school. Most of them are in a very old and dilapidated condition.
School principal Bikal Adhikari said that budget management is necessary for the renovation of the building. According to him, 490 students are studying in the school in various subjects. Of these, 135 are studying in civil engineering, 114 in pharmacy, 128 in AG plant science, 75 in forestry, and 38 in HA, according to the school principal.
Rather than turning the school into a university, the people of Jumla demand that attention be paid to improving the physical infrastructure of the school, so that the children of the poor can pursue technical education. "The resolutions to convert the school into a university are welcome," said the school's chief officer, "but the old structures of the school need to be repaired. Education is not being prioritized in the government budget. There is a problem of making an agenda in the elections but not working. " He said that since everyone's cooperation is needed in improving the school, it is necessary to create an atmosphere where the existing infrastructure is used rather than sharing big dreams.
