    To explore the community practices of sustainable development and enhance the critical and analytical thinking on development practices of students, the department has been working relentlessly for the well-being of the community. The department usually conducts fieldwork for community visits to learn about the community’s problems and address them. The department has held fieldwork for community visits for MSD students (2018-2020). Furthermore, the department has also encouraged students to participate in research-related activities.<\/p>

    The department also involves a number of students for environment preservation and the generation of evidence for policy advocacy. The department has successfully implemented environmental preservation programs in many National Park, CG Foundation, communities around Buffer Zone, and local governments. This practice helps the community grow and develops students’ leadership skills, research skills, analytical skills, and teamwork. With these attributes, the students can further contribute to society.<\/p>

    Additionally, the Department of Development Education has also partnered with SOCH Nepal, NEPAN, USAID, and FHI 360 to organize a discussion series on academia practice collaboration for community development. The discussion series focuses on several issues such as sustainable development, anti-corruption, local participatory development, etc. These discussions and debates teach students how theory and practice blend. The students can understand the ongoing problems in the community and focus on eliminating those problems.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

    Department of Educational Leadership has been working on a school improvement project for a long time. As the name suggests, the department advocates for transforming the education process, improving teaching-learning activities, and developing leadership skills in every school in the country.
