For this, the need to provide facilities like physical structure, construction, laboratory, library is equally important. Since a few years ago, I have been closely observing the activities against the university management and officials which are unacceptable for the civilized and academic sector. I would like to draw the attention of the government not to do such activities in the name of meeting their demands from the government and to solve the problem through negotiation, such chaotic, unscientific, and apolitical activities cannot be accepted not only by Tribhuvan University and the government of Nepal, but by the entire civilized society.
