It has been revealed that Tribhuvan University (Trivi) was not only losing its academic and academic character, it was also losing land. That too hundreds of plants. The high-level investigation committee formed by the government gathered the fact that about 2400 ropani land of the University has been embezzled and encroached upon.

This shows the weak ownership of the stakeholders over the assets of the University. At the same time, it exposes the terrible trend of land grabbing and encroachment. 

The details of public land encroachment in Nepal are being published serially. That is why the case of Lalita Niwas, Giribandhu, Bal Mandir, Bansbari came to the surface. Tribhuvan University is also connected to the same link. 

It was claimed that 3700 ropani of land should be under the Central Office of the University and 1000 ropani of it was said to be encroached upon. The then government led by Pushpa Kamal Dahal formed a high-level investigation commission under the coordination of former secretary Sharada Prasad Trital last May to investigate the same land. The details of encroachment of 1,000 ropani land with the connivance of officials have already been made public. Out of this, 125 saplings were encroached on Naikap, 108 saplings were encroached upon by the laboratory school in the university campus, 150 saplings were encroached by the BP Planetarium office, 24 saplings were encroached upon by the Kathmandu Valley Water Supply Project, 13 saplings were encroached upon by Radhaswami Satsang Vyas, and 30 saplings were encroached upon by the National Ayurveda Research and Training Center. . He concluded that about 1000 ropani of Balkhu area has been shrunk and 375 ropani of Luvu and 21 ropani of land around Pulchok received from Rajdarbar have also been embezzled. According to the committee, about 1,000 ropani land that was given compensation has not come under the authority of the University. The

committee submitted the report to Education Minister and Tertiary Vice-Chancellor Vidya Bhattarai last week. She said that the report has been submitted to the Cabinet. In Nepal, reports related to sensitive issues are not made public. This report is not understood by the Prime Minister, but by the Minister of Education. It could be anything accidental or inadvertent. The members of the committee have said that they will also submit a report to the Prime Minister. If the report itself is not made public, it cannot be implemented. Therefore, it is natural to expect the report to be made public soon and its recommendations to be strictly implemented. The report should be made public by realizing the importance of the government's economic and intellectual investment and the issue of 2400 ropani land. If possible, public consultation will be given priority. Which will help to bring the embezzled and encroached lands back under Trivikai.

should be clear about some parts with the report. First, there should be an end to the situation where university land is used for non-academic purposes. For that, from the responsible officials of the university to the senate, they should be responsible and careful. There should be a clear policy regarding the land use of the university. It should not be allowed to allow some officials to make arbitrary decisions and use them for various purposes in an opaque manner and eventually lead to embezzlement or encroachment. When allowing land to be used in this way, the decision should be made by the Senate itself, not by some officials. Allowing the other party to use it must ensure that an educational purpose is established. The details of the contract should be transparent. The government has also been struggling with the question of using the land of other universities including Trivi. The work of deciding, protecting and taking responsibility for the land of the university should belong to the university.
