Out of the 5,218 acres of land acquired by the government for the establishment and operation of Tribhuvan University, it has been found that about 2,539 acres of land has been encroached upon. About 1 thousand 843 ropani land in Kirtipur complex has been seen to be shrinking and embezzled. Similarly, 696 acres of land outside Kirtipur has also been encroached upon, according to the university's land and immovable property search committee 2081.
It is mentioned in the report of the committee that 21 organizations and groups are encroaching on 843 ropani land in the central office Kirtipur. The Ministry of Education, Science and Technology released a report recommending action against those involved in land encroachment on Sunday.
The Interim Council of Ministers led by Sushila Karki has decided to send the report to the Ministry for implementation, which has been hidden by the government led by KP Sharma Oli since last November. "We will send it to the relevant agencies as per the recommendations of the report for implementation," says an official of the ministry.
According to the committee chaired by former secretary Mahendra Kumar Thapa, laboratory school in Kirtipur, Radhaswami Satsang Vyas Nepal, Nepal Professors Association, University Professors Association, Staff Association, BP Koirala Memorial Panatorium, Ayurveda Research and Training Center, Nepal Netrajyoti Association have been using the land of University. Similarly, Nepal Bank Limited, Global IME Bank, Police circle Kirtipur, Balkhu and Kalimati, Lions Rakta Sanchar Kendra, Nepal Cricket Association, Trivi Coveredhall are also using Trivi's land in the report of the committee.
Kathmandu Water Supply Board, Agricultural Horticulture Center, Kirtipur Municipality, Dhunga, Gitti, Sand Depot, Nepal Electricity Authority have also been using the land of the University. The committee has suggested that a separate investigation should be conducted on the squatter settlements on the Bagmati banks of Kirtipur, the border of Kirtipur-10 and Kathmandu-14 and the land of the Kumari Club area as well.
The committee has recommended that further investigation and investigation be conducted by the Central Investigation Bureau of the Authority and the Police, CIB, regarding the 108 ropani land being used by the Lab School. In the report of the committee, it has been pointed out that the school has been using the university land illegally. It has also been suggested that the land should be returned to the University after a decision by the Council of Ministers as soon as possible.
The school management, principal, staff, district education office and officials of the Ministry of Education who claim that it is not the land of the university have been instructed to investigate according to the prevailing law. Former education minister and UML leader Krishna Gopal Shrestha, Congress treasurer Umesh Shrestha are in school management. Lakpa Sherpa is the principal. The school removed the administrators' names from the website following an investigation in May 2081.
Territorial Land Ministry of Education intervened and given the matter to the school because it does not seem to be in accordance with the law, so officials involved in the decision-making process regarding the contract have been suggested to investigate. As the school has been occupying the land of Lot No. 34 in the name of the University for many years, the registration process was started in 2071 in the land office Kalanki to register it in the name of the University. There was an agreement that the Ministry of Education would let the school use the land of the University in 2059. The investigative committee raised questions on the agreement itself and gave an opinion that an investigation should be conducted by the authority.
How was the agreement to give the government land to a private organization named Nepal Shiksha Samaj come about? It was only later that the school was found to be operating under a public charter, according to the committee. Although the agreement was only for 15 years for the first time, the school has forcibly occupied the land of the university, so the rent should be collected on a fixed basis, it is mentioned in the report.
The report also states that Radhaswami Satsang Vyas Nepal, a religious organization, is occupying 15 ropani government land in the name of Trivi. Since the organization has started the process of registering the land in its name in the Land Registry and Survey Office, it is recommended to further investigate and take legal action against those involved in illegal activities.
Nepal Professors' Association has leased the land of the University as its own since 2077, so the committee has suggested that its officials be prosecuted by the police on fraud charges. As the university professors' union and staff union leased the university's land to operate a hotel and a petrol pump, it has been pointed out to investigate and take action against the guilty professors and staff. "Parties involved in unauthorized use and misuse of government land to obtain illegal benefits, officials of the university who have not been prosecuted for doing the said act, should be investigated and investigated by the relevant authorities, and the university should be compensated for the financial loss," said the report.
Kathmandu Water Supply Board and Water Supply and Sewerage Committee have given the opinion that although financial transactions regarding the use of University land are not transparent, a detailed investigation should be conducted by the Authority. It has been suggested to follow up with the party operating the depot of stone, gravel, sand without permission on the land of Trivi and pay compensation. Since other government agencies, banks and other private sectors have leased or contracted, it is suggested to evaluate them in a timely manner.
Similarly, it has been pointed out that 1,000 ropani land in the Kirtipur-Balkhu area is shrinking, so further study is required. "For land encroachment, it has been seen that 1,000 plantations may be reduced if a notice is published to separate the land from Balkhu Khola, Kumari Club, Bagmati River in the east across the ring road," said the report. In this matter, it has been pointed out that no further documents have been found, even though compensation has been distributed.
'How much land was left when the road was opened from Kirtipur to Chithubihar in the west, Kumari Club, Gangkhel area, Trivi Gate to the west in the north? How many personal lands have trespassed on the land of the university? The committee could not confirm this due to lack of manpower, further investigation is necessary," said the report.
It has been pointed out that 696 acres of land has been encroached outside the Kirtipur complex in Naikap, Dillibazar, Tripureshwar, Luvhu, Kapan and Swayambhu. The committee has recommended that the lands of Naikap, Luvu, Kapan and Swayambhu should be brought under the ownership of the University.
"Since the immovable property management side of the university, which is considered to be very rich in terms of land and land, is very weak, it is seen that the government or other organizations request to use the property of the university on their own, even with some influence and pressure, they use it with or without the approval of the executive council," the report says, "More than the needs of the university, educational, academic and research based on the requests of related institutions, political and personal pressure, influence, vested interest groups and in the case of some, the request of the government." It has been confirmed that the land has been allowed to be consumed or enjoyed for activities other than work.
The investigative committee has determined that the university's land could not be protected due to the negligence of officials. 5 reasons for embezzlement of university land have been pointed out. The first reason is that the officials of Tribika have not even updated the land records. It is said that the officials have been negligent without discharging their responsibilities prescribed by law.
According to the report, the University Assembly, Chancellor and Prime Minister and Vice-Chancellor and Minister of Education are also responsible. It is said in the report, "Even though the prime minister himself is the chancellor, he has not been able to provide guardianship regarding the protection, use and management of land." Although the Ministry of University Education will look into it, despite repeated requests from the University regarding the registration of land, transfer of ownership, and updating of land records, it was found that there was little cooperation from the Ministry and coordination with other agencies. "There has been corruption in the collusion of the political leadership, and the encroaching party has been protected. "Political pressure, influence and self-interest have prevailed in distributing the land of the University," said the report. The committee has mentioned that the employees of the university are also responsible for the land encroachment. Another reason is the increasing trend of encroachment on government land and unclear legal and policy arrangements. The recommendation of the committee is that the Ministry of Education should take a proposal to the Council of Ministers for the implementation of the suggestions submitted in the
report. The Committee has asked the University to update the gazette, information, related documents, attachments and details since the encroachment of the land in 2013.
The Council of Ministers led by Pushpa Kamal Dahal formed a committee under the coordination of former secretary Sharda Prasad Trital on 19th May 2081 for the land search of Trivi and its Angic campus. Former Joint Secretary Mahendra Kumar Thapa, Jankiballab Adhikari and Prem Sagar Chapagain as experts in the university were members of the committee. Sushila Adhikari, deputy secretary of the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology, was the member secretary in the committee. After Trital fell ill during the investigation, Thapa was given the responsibility of coordination and the report was finalized.
