ABOUT CAMPUS

The Central Department of Nepalese History, Culture, and Archaeology has many years of experience at Tribhuvan University. Its origins date back to 1918 when History was included as one of the topics at Tri-Chandra College's inception. Later, Professor Gokul Chandra Malhotra (Shastri) taught Culture at the bachelor's level. Culture was established as a separate postgraduate discipline in 1959, with the Department of Culture offering courses in Religion & Philosophy, Archaeology, Pre-History, Iconography, Architecture, and Numismatics. In 1971, the agency was renamed the Central Agency of Nepalese History, Culture, and Archaeology (NeHCA).

In 1972, following the implementation of the New Education System, the department expanded its offerings to include intermediate-level courses, incorporating Cultural Tourism and Museology. Over time, the courses have been regularly updated based on the changing requirements and expert recommendations. Presently, the department follows a Semester system, adhering to the academic calendar of Tribhuvan University. Additionally, it actively collaborates with esteemed international partners and universities to provide students with high-quality academic learning experiences.
