KATHMANDU, Jan 11: Members of the Public Policy and Delegated Legislation Committee of the National Assembly have emphasized the need for a new act concerning Tribhuvan University (TU). The MPs expressed this view during a discussion on the delegated legislation related to the TU Act-2049 BS (1992) on Friday.
Lawmakers Nar Bahadur Bista and Rukmini Koirala suggested that further discussions be held on the matter by taking reference of a report by advocate Chakraman Bishwakarma on the study of the TU Act-2049, as well as the implementation reports of the delegated laws drafted under the Act.
Dealing with stress
It may be noted that the first report recommended managing the TU Employees' Welfare Fund, Medical Expenditures Fund, and Employees Loan Fund through an Act rather than by-laws. It also pointed out that the determination of remunerations, services, and facilities for TU office bearers bypassed the proper procedures.
Meanwhile, during the second meeting of the committee, members agreed not to interfere with the jurisdictions, autonomy, and curriculum development of universities.
