Where to find other funds?

Nepali universities (except for Kathmandu University) have relied overwhelmingly on state funds.

In 2007, the Indian historian Ramachandra Guha wrote: “The Indian university has relied too heavily on subsidies and handouts from the state.” The situation in Nepal is pretty similar. Over the years of their existence, Nepali universities (except for Kathmandu University) have relied overwhelmingly on state funds for their expenses, both infrastructural and operational ones. Fees charged from students in public universities, except for some MPhil/PhD programmes, have been nominal. By diversifying its sources of funding, Guha added, “The university reduces its dependence on a single source of patronage, while also engaging with (and making itself relevant to) a wider swathe of society.” If Nepali universities want to diversify their sources of funding, what else could they do more robustly?
