Experience In Academic Action

Once an academic, always an academic. This is the case of those who study regularly and wield their pen profusely. Former vice-chancellor of Tribhuvan University, Nepal’s pioneer, and premier institution of higher education, Prof. Tirth Raj Khania has not been sitting idle as far as his academic pursuits are concerned. Two new books published this year by the noted StarScholars, based in Maryland of the United States, creditably underscore the scholar in him. “Shifting Paradigms in Higher Education: Balancing Humanities, Scientism, and Academic Capitalism” and “Navigating Higher Education in Nepal: Historical Perspective and Future Directions” have made it to the Nepali book stalls since June.
