Prime Minister and Chancellor of Tribhuvan University KP Sharma Oli has said that he did not interfere in the appointment of Dean, Campus Head on the basis of merit. Speaking at the Trivi Sabha meeting held in Rkirtipur on Thursday, he said that officials such as dean, campus chief should be appointed in the university on the basis of fair merit.
At a time when UML leaders and activists including UML General Secretary Shakar Pokharel are raising questions about the meritocracy process, Oli said that the appointment should be based on merit. "The university is not a firm place to do party work and talk." I have asked to appoint a dean on the basis of fair meritocracy,' he said, 'It is not interference for the chancellor to tell the vice-chancellor to work properly.' He said that the university should not face any difficulty when appointing on the basis of merit.
Prime Minister Oli said that there should be no place to raise questions on meritocracy. "When an autonomous organization brings meritocracy, it should really be meritocracy". "Drama should not be a meritocracy," he said, "isn't it my duty to say that?"
"It comes that the Chancellor interfered in the media," said Oli, "There are elements in Nepal that should oppose the Prime Minister". He said that there was no delay in the appointment of the Dean by the intervention of the Prime Minister. "I have not interfered in the university, not at all," he said, "the vice-chancellor, rector, and registrar should also follow the rules and procedures." He also gave instructions to the officials including the vice-chancellor of the university after the appointment. He said that there is no interference in saying that the dean should be appointed quickly. He also asked to pay attention to the upgrading of the university. "The education sector should be run with a free mind." "A free mind should be governed by rules and laws," he said. When making a decision, the university should also take care of how the institution will be run after the decision has been made.' He said that although professors, staff and students have separate interests in
university, they should pay attention to the interests of the university and the interests of the national interest. The assembly has passed the 12-point policy of the university for the financial year 2081/082.
