Now the world is in crisis because of COVID 19. All the institutions, societies, and individuals of the country should unite against Kovid 19. Despite weak infrastructure, lack of skilled manpower, and scarcity of resources, the university is making every effort to fight Kovid 19. PCR tests have been done using machines in the university. University hospitals have been active in treating Kovid patients. The physical infrastructure of the university has been used in quarantine. Despite limited resources, various university bodies and teachers are conducting research on COVID 19. University teachers and students are also working to spread awareness and volunteer.
It has organized online classes as an alternative arrangement. An online class has been conducted by the Microsoft team by creating email accounts for about 100,000 teachers, students and staff, and training about 4,000 teachers and 200 staff. The examination work has moved ahead on the recommendation of the committee including experts. Discussions and preparations are being made to organize the online class and conduct the examination in a systematic manner.
The University expresses its gratitude to all the faculty, staff, students, parents, and civil society for their support in the study and other activities using the alternative technology of the University, even in the face of Corona's terror and confinement. In such a situation, all concerned are urged to be aware of the confusion that may arise over the future of the students while the university is locked.
Formulation and distribution of budget for the coming financial year, preparation of upcoming examinations, the publication of results of completed examinations, thesis, and viva, equivalence assessment, audit, litigation in court, debate advocacy, retiring fund of retired teachers, various aspects related to students, teachers, and staff including pensioners.
The situation is being affected. In addition, T.V. The long-awaited publication of results and advertisements at the Service Commission has been hampered by a lockout. Some teachers and staff are on the verge of retirement and are deprived of promotion opportunities. The Service Commission has been requested to publish the results of the Associate Professor as soon as possible due to a shortage of manpower.
Even in such a situation, if various groups continue to obstruct the operation of the university with various demands, it is certain that it will have a negative impact not only on Tribhuvan University but also on the overall higher education sector.
The university is ready to discuss any issue for the institutional reform and academic advancement of the university and is confident that the problem can be solved through dialogue. Therefore, we request all the parties to issue a statement and lock up to come to the lockout talks and work for the solution of the problem through the same. We also request all the stakeholders affiliated to the university to help solve the problem in a positive environment.
