What does it do?

  • The Act establishes Lumbini Buddhist University, headquartered in the Lumbini area of Rupandehi district, to run higher-education institutions for teaching and research in Buddhist philosophy, literature, education and culture and other subjects. It draws inspiration from the Buddha's teachings on peace, brotherhood and goodwill. The University is an autonomous corporate body with perpetual succession that can own property and sue or be sued.यो ऐनले बौद्ध दर्शन, साहित्य, शिक्षा र संस्कृतिसहित अन्य विषयको अध्ययन, अध्यापन र अनुसन्धान गर्ने उच्च शिक्षण संस्था सञ्चालन गर्न लुम्बिनी बौद्ध विश्वविद्यालय स्थापना गरेको छ; यसको केन्द्रीय कार्यालय रुपन्देही जिल्लाको लुम्बिनी क्षेत्रमा रहन्छ। शान्ति, बन्धुत्व र सद्भावसम्बन्धी भगवान् गौतम बुद्धका उपदेशलाई मार्गदर्शन मानिएको छ। विश्वविद्यालय अविच्छिन्न उत्तराधिकारवाला स्वशासित सङ्गठित संस्था हो; यसले सम्पत्ति राख्न र नालिस उजुर गर्न सक्छ र यसउपर पनि नालिस लाग्छ। Nepal Law Commission, Government of Nepal Preamble, p. 1; Sections 3–4, p. 2
  • The Prime Minister is Chancellor and the Minister of Education, Science and Technology is Pro-Chancellor; both may inspect and direct the University. The Vice-Chancellor, its full-time chief executive, is appointed by the Chancellor for four years on the recommendation of a committee chaired by the Pro-Chancellor. The University Assembly, its highest body, sets policy, approves the budget and programmes, decides degrees and directs campuses. An Academic Council handles academic matters, and an Executive Council implements decisions, manages property and funds, appoints and promotes staff, and sets student fees.प्रधानमन्त्री विश्वविद्यालयका कुलपति र शिक्षा, विज्ञान तथा प्रविधि मन्त्री सहकुलपति हुन्छन्; दुवैले विश्वविद्यालयको निरीक्षण गर्न र निर्देशन दिन सक्छन्। पूरा समय काम गर्ने प्रमुख पदाधिकारी उपकुलपतिलाई सहकुलपतिको अध्यक्षतामा गठित समितिको सिफारिसमा कुलपतिले चार वर्षका लागि नियुक्त गर्छन्। सर्वोच्च निकाय विश्वविद्यालय सभाले नीति बनाउँछ, बजेट र कार्यक्रम स्वीकृत गर्छ, उपाधि तोक्छ र क्याम्पसलाई निर्देशन दिन्छ। प्राज्ञिक परिषद्ले शैक्षिक विषय हेर्छ, र कार्यकारी परिषद्ले सभाका निर्णय कार्यान्वयन गर्छ, सम्पत्ति र कोषको व्यवस्थापन गर्छ, शिक्षक–कर्मचारी नियुक्ति तथा बढुवा गर्छ र विद्यार्थी शुल्क तोक्छ। Nepal Law Commission, Government of Nepal Sections 5–13, pp. 3–8; Sections 19–22, p. 10
  • The University may set up its own campuses and grant affiliation to Nepali or foreign campuses, which pay an annual fee and must follow its conditions. A Vice-Chancellor, Registrar or Dean can be removed if a quarter of the Assembly petitions the Chancellor, a three-member inquiry (including a University Grants Commission member and the Education Secretary) reports within 30 days, and more than half of the Assembly votes for removal, after the person has had a chance to respond.विश्वविद्यालयले आफ्नै क्याम्पस खोल्न र स्वदेशी वा विदेशी क्याम्पसलाई सम्बन्धन दिन सक्छ; सम्बन्धनप्राप्त क्याम्पसले वार्षिक सम्बन्धन शुल्क तिर्नुपर्छ र विश्वविद्यालयका शर्त पालना गर्नुपर्छ। सभाका एक चौथाइ सदस्यले कुलपतिसमक्ष निवेदन दिएमा विश्वविद्यालय अनुदान आयोगका सदस्य र शिक्षा मन्त्रालयका सचिवसमेत रहेको तीन सदस्यीय छानबिन समितिले ३० दिनभित्र प्रतिवेदन दिन्छ, र सफाइको मौका दिएपछि सभाका ५० प्रतिशतभन्दा बढी सदस्यले निर्णय गरे उपकुलपति, रजिस्ट्रार वा डीनलाई पदबाट हटाउन सकिन्छ। Nepal Law Commission, Government of Nepal Sections 16–17, p. 9; Section 28, p. 12
  • The University's fund comes from government grants, donations, loans or grants from international bodies and foreign governments (which need prior government approval), student fees and affiliation fees. Internal audit is done by an auditor appointed by the Assembly, and the final audit by the Auditor General. The Act has been amended four times, most recently by the Some Nepal Acts Amendment Act, 2082.विश्वविद्यालयको कोषमा नेपाल सरकारको अनुदान, चन्दा–दान, अन्तर्राष्ट्रिय संस्था वा विदेशी सरकारबाट प्राप्त ऋण वा अनुदान (जसका लागि नेपाल सरकारको पूर्वस्वीकृति चाहिन्छ), विद्यार्थी शुल्क र सम्बन्धन शुल्क रहन्छन्। आन्तरिक लेखापरीक्षण सभाले नियुक्त गरेको लेखापरीक्षकबाट र अन्तिम लेखापरीक्षण महालेखापरीक्षकबाट हुन्छ। ऐन चार पटक संशोधन भएको छ; पछिल्लो संशोधन केही नेपाल ऐन संशोधन गर्ने ऐन, २०८२ ले गरेको हो। Nepal Law Commission, Government of Nepal Sections 29–30, p. 14; title page, p. 1
