Chitwam, Feb 10: Vice-Chancellor of Purbanchal University Prof Dr Biju Kumar Thapaliya said that the trend of students going abroad after grade 12 is declining the enrollment of students in Nepal’s colleges.
Addressing the 16th anniversary celebration of Shree College of Technology and Shree Chitwan College here today, he shared that educational programmes are being introduced in a way to create opportunities to attract students.
Prof Dr Thapaliya said, “We are bringing new programmes to attract students as the prime challenge now is to increase the number of students”.
On the occasion, Dean of the Faculty of Medical Sciences of Purbanchal University, Dr Shailesh Mani Pokharel said that the university has its own journal and lauded the college for initiating the remarkable work of publishing research papers.
On the occasion, Chief Medical Superintendent of Bharatpur Hospital Prof Dr Krishna Prasad Paudel said that the practice of going abroad for studies after class 12 has made it difficult to run the hospital due to lack of health human resource.
Also on the occasion, the students who scored the highest marks and stood first and second in various sports were awarded.
The college has been conducting courses in BPH, B Pharmacy, BSc Nursing and BN.
