What does it do?
- The Act establishes the University of Nepal (Nepal Vishwavidyalaya), a public, autonomous university with legal personality, to provide multidisciplinary, liberal-arts-based teaching and research that produces skilled, responsible, creative and competitive graduates and new knowledge. Its central office is outside the Kathmandu Valley at a place the Government sets on the Council's recommendation. It teaches through schools and research centres, and it may not grant affiliation or approval to other institutions.यो ऐनले अन्तरविधात्मक (लिबरल आर्ट्स) अवधारणामा आधारित बहुविधागत गुणस्तरीय अध्ययन, अध्यापन र अनुसन्धानमार्फत दक्ष, जिम्मेवार, सिर्जनशील र प्रतिस्पर्धी जनशक्ति उत्पादन गर्न र नयाँ ज्ञान सिर्जना गर्न कानूनी व्यक्तित्व भएको स्वायत्त सार्वजनिक नेपाल विश्वविद्यालय स्थापना गर्छ। परिषद्को सिफारिसमा सरकारले तोकेको काठमाडौं उपत्यकाबाहिरको स्थानमा केन्द्रीय कार्यालय रहन्छ। विश्वविद्यालयले स्कूल र अनुसन्धान केन्द्रमार्फत पढाउँछ, र अन्य शैक्षिक संस्थालाई सम्बन्धन वा स्वीकृति दिँदैन। Nepal Law Commission Sections 3–5, 15–16, 41, pp. 2, 9, 20
- The supreme body is a Board of Trustees (Sanrakshak Parishad) that includes the Vice-Chancellor, the education ministry secretary, the UGC secretary, the provincial education secretary, the local mayor, nominated educationists and academics (including women), one industrialist, one employer and one farmer, major donors and experienced public administrators. Unlike most Nepali universities, the Chancellor is chosen by the Board from among its nominated members rather than being the Prime Minister. An Academic Council handles academic matters and an Executive Council runs the university.विश्वविद्यालयको सर्वोच्च निकाय संरक्षक परिषद् हो, जसमा उपकुलपति, शिक्षा मन्त्रालयका सचिव, विश्वविद्यालय अनुदान आयोगका सचिव, प्रदेशको शिक्षा मन्त्रालयका सचिव, स्थानीय तहका प्रमुख, मनोनीत शिक्षाविद् र प्राज्ञिक व्यक्ति (महिलासहित), एक–एकजना उद्योगपति, रोजगारदाता र किसान, ठूला आर्थिक सहयोगदाता र अनुभवी प्रशासक रहन्छन्। अधिकांश नेपाली विश्वविद्यालयमा जस्तो प्रधानमन्त्री नभई यहाँ परिषद्का सदस्यले मनोनीत सदस्यमध्येबाट कुलपति छान्छन्। प्राज्ञिक परिषद्ले शैक्षिक विषय र कार्यकारी परिषद्ले दैनिक सञ्चालन हेर्छ। Nepal Law Commission Sections 6–14, 17, pp. 2–10
- The Vice-Chancellor (the executive head) and the Registrar must meet set qualifications and are appointed through a recommendation committee formed by the Council; they, deans and directors can be removed for failing in their duties. The University sets fees, provides free higher education and scholarships for specified students, recognises its degrees and equivalence, may employ foreign or non-resident Nepali faculty, holds intellectual property in its work, and its property is ultimately Government property.कार्यकारी प्रमुख उपकुलपति र रजिस्ट्रारले तोकिएको योग्यता पूरा गर्नुपर्छ र परिषद्ले गठन गर्ने सिफारिस समितिमार्फत नियुक्त हुन्छन्; जिम्मेवारी पूरा नगरेमा उनीहरू, डीन र निर्देशकलाई हटाउन सकिन्छ। विश्वविद्यालयले शुल्क तोक्छ, तोकिएका विद्यार्थीलाई निःशुल्क उच्च शिक्षा र छात्रवृत्ति दिन्छ, उपाधि र समकक्षता निर्धारण गर्छ, विदेशी वा गैरआवासीय नेपाली प्राध्यापक नियुक्त गर्न सक्छ, आफ्ना कामको बौद्धिक सम्पत्ति राख्छ, र यसको सम्पत्ति अन्ततः नेपाल सरकारको हुन्छ। Nepal Law Commission Sections 18–25, 37–40, 46–47, 51, 54, pp. 10–22
- The University keeps its own fund and audited accounts, must publish an annual report, undergo an external evaluation, and avoid conflicts of interest; the Government may inspect it and give directions, and implementation of the Act is to be assessed five years after commencement.विश्वविद्यालयको आफ्नै कोष र लेखापरीक्षण हुन्छ; यसले वार्षिक प्रतिवेदन प्रकाशित गर्नुपर्छ, बाह्य मूल्याङ्कन गराउनुपर्छ र स्वार्थ बाझिने काम गर्नु हुँदैन। सरकारले निरीक्षण गरी निर्देशन दिन सक्छ, र ऐन लागू भएको पाँच वर्षपछि कार्यान्वयनको मापन गरिन्छ। Nepal Law Commission Sections 34–35, 44, 48–50, 56, pp. 18–23
