Nepal is currently undergoing a phase of massive changes politically, socially, culturally, and economically. With the promulgation of new constitutions, the political structure in Nepal changed from unitary to federal states, which had implications for our governance practices, economic system, social mores, and leadership style. While these changes have brought with them many opportunities, they have also posed numerous challenges for us. How do we manage these changes? Are we mature enough to handle these changes? Do we have adequate financial resources? Do we have competent manpower for this? Does our mindset allow us to face and overcome these challenges? Do we have capable managers who can handle and manage these changes?
Managing change successfully is a big challenge for us. What we need today are a clean and strong government, good governance, law and order, zero tolerance for corruption, and good education. It is indisputable that a country’s long-term growth depends on the quality of its education.
It is apparent that in the changed context we also need to review and change our education system so that it prepares manpower that is needed by the nation. Since its inception, Kathmandu University School of Management has always strived to produce manpower with leadership qualities and managerial knowledge and skills needed by the nation. As a pioneering management school, it was the first to start MBA, BBA, and BBIS programs in Nepal. Its graduates work for different organizations in different industries such as banks, manufacturing industries, airlines, information technology, retail and marketing, and telecommunication. In recent years it has also initiated programs like rural enterprise services, social experience projects, etc. to provide its students exposure to rural environments and realities at the grassroots levels.
The undergraduate program (BBA, BBIS, and BHM) at Kathmandu University is designed to prepare professionals who are confident, knowledgeable, well-trained, and skillful in performing their jobs in the organizations they work for. We believe that you as our student will always cherish the year you spend in Kathmandu University and its affiliated college.
Wishing you all a bright future.
