Our Story

Purbanchal University (PU), a public university in gothgaun, morang, was established in 1993 by the Government of Nepal with its fundamental objective of preserving, refining, inventing, adopting, extending and transmitting knowledge in an environment that fosters free inquiry and open scholarly debate, leading to all-encompassing development of the rural people and their economies and environment. Purbanchal University conducts its academic programs through its seven constituent campuses as well as more than 122 affiliate colleges. Government of Nepal has provided 545 hectares of land some 30 Kilometers from Biratnagar near East West Highway.

Vision:

Vision of Purbanchal University is

” To develop this university as the model in fulfilling the national objectives of education’.The aim is to address the present issues and long term sustainable development of the country, by alleviating the declining productivity of industries and agriculture, the increasing population and unemployment, the unsustainable development and erosion of natural resources, and the environmental deterioration and increasing vulnerability against human welfare.“

At the outset, PU realised its role, although being a public university, as an interface between public and private academic institutions to provide affordable but reminiscent education to the mass while enduring self-sustenance and good-governance. The almost free education in public university on one hand and the astounding fees at private university on the other has resulted in wider anomalies and weaknesses in our education system. PU’s major challenge is to bridge the education gap through self-sustenance programs and activities, and make education affordable and accessible for all.

The University is committed to achieve academic excellence through research, teaching and practical studies in specific areas that contribute to the social, economic and sustainable development of the country. At present, the University has broadly identified Industry-Technology, Agriculture-Forestry, Environment- Rural-Cultural Subsistence and Sustainable Development as specific areas of “Academic Excellence”.

Objectives:

• Run professional and Technical Institutions of Career-oriented higher Education facilitating study, research and teaching programs related to various disciplines and promote all around development of its student, teachers and scholars abilities and personalities;
• Contribute to the creation of a comparative high competitive environment in higher education by extending and disseminating knowledge by fostering its efficient and effective application;
• Mobilize and utilize resources-local, national or International- with a view of introducing improvement in the quality and effectiveness of its academic programs catering for the changing socio-economic needs of the country;
• Develop as model institution of higher learning by correcting academic weaknesses of both public and private Institutions
