Kathmandu, Sept 14: Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal has said that the dispute existing between the Tribhuvan University and Agriculture and Forestry University (AFU) would be resolved soon.
Addressing the 5th annual general meeting of the AFU held at the Prime Minister’s residence in Baluwatar on Tuesday, the Prime Minister said it was unfortunate that the two Universities differ over issues related to property and the management of staff, and added that the problem would be addressed through a meeting of the cabinet soon.
On the occasion, the Prime Minister also directed the Education Minister to come up with a proposal before the cabinet to resolve the matter.
Also Chancellor of the AFU, Prime Minister Dahal urged the University authorities to focus on research that help the real farmers and introduce programmes that help uplift the living standard of the rural population. “As Nepal’s development is possible only through the medium of agriculture, the University must focus on promoting agro education and research,” he said.
