Central Member of Nepali Congress and Head of Education Department Nainsingh Mahar has expressed his displeasure with the postponement of the Senate meeting of Tribhuvan University. Vice-Chancellor and Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli has said that it is not a pleasant matter for academic institutions to give instructions to postpone the Senate meeting today (Sunday).
The post of Vice-Chancellor of Tribhuvan University is vacant since March 15. Stopping the annual meeting of the Trivi Sabha at this time on the instructions of the Prime Minister is not an honorable matter,' said Mahar while giving a brief response to reporters at the central office complex outside the Congress Central Committee meeting.
He is of the opinion that since the university is an academic place, it should be carried forward according to the annual calendar. He pointed out that this could convey the message that the government is indifferent towards education in Nepal. The School Education Act has been in debate for a long time, the government's commitment to bring the Education Act within June 15 has not been fulfilled. The government and the parliament have not been able to achieve much clarity in the work of making laws. According to Mahar, the trust of the people towards the government will further decrease and disappointment will increase.
'It is not good to stop the meeting called to pass the budget of the next year of Trivi and the list of 90 thousand students who have received academic degrees (grace list) after the instructions of the Chancellor. It is necessary for the Prime Minister to go the way of reform, the academic field should be advanced accordingly. All activities such as exams and admissions should be carried out according to the annual calendar, he said.
Trivial will post the annual meeting according to the date . As Prime Minister Oli is on a visit to Spain, the meeting scheduled for Asar Shukla Navami (Friday) was scheduled for Sunday, but it was postponed again on the instructions of the Prime Minister.
The University prepared to submit the budget to the assembly by passing the budget from the planning council and the executive council. The budget is implemented only after it is passed by the assembly. Faculty members from outside the valley had also come to Kathmandu to participate in the meeting. Prime Minister Oli is going to Humla to inaugurate the bridge on Sunday after postponing the Senate meeting of the University. It is seen that all the programs of the University will be affected.
