Renovation of the building on the south side of the campus by the Department of Urban and Building Construction is about to be completed. According to campus head Prof. Dr. Sunil Adhikari, the entire building construction work will be completed within two years. 51 million rupees were allocated for the reconstruction, but the contractor company decided to complete the work with only 34 million rupees.
