Tribhuvan University Directs Professors and Staff to Report Within 15 Days

Kathmandu. Tribhuvan University (TU) has directed professors and staff who took study leave and did not return to the university's service after completing their studies to report within 15 days. 

The TU Study Leave Management Implementation Committee, issuing a public notice on Wednesday, urged teachers and staff who did not return to service as per university rules after availing study leave and those who left service without completing the stipulated period to contact the committee's office. 

The notice clearly states that if they do not report within the specified time limit, legal action will be initiated as per the agreement made with the university and according to regulations. 

According to TU, more than 11 crore 84 lakh rupees have been recovered from 50 professors who took study leave and did not return to service. 

This process has been initiated with the initiative of the Ministry of Education and Sports and the active participation of TU. 

The university has mentioned that study leave is a special facility provided with the objective of providing skilled, research-oriented, and international-level academic manpower. However, TU states that the university has suffered financial, educational, and academic losses as some professors have misused their study leave and have not returned to service after completing their studies. 

TU has reminded that professors who utilize study leave are bound by the provision to fulfill their service obligations as per the agreement, and has stated that the process of recovering the remaining amount will continue.
