Research
The Directorate of Research and Publication (DOR) has been established at Rampur under the office of the Dean. The DOR encourages interdisciplinary research studies focusing on the priority areas as emphasized by the Nepal Agriculture perspective Plan (APP), a 20 year agriculture development plan which has been in effect since 1995. The Directorate helps to develop proposals and to carry out research on both basic and applied biological as well as social science related research. The knowledge and information generated from research is disseminated through teaching, seminars, conferences, symposia, extension activities and scientific publications.
The research and development office promotes research activities on campus. The research principally focuses on the mid-hill ecosystem which is a typical Nepali landscape. Participatory projects are underway in collaboration with IRRI. There is an upland rice research program located at Lamjung Campus Sundarbazar, located in the mid-hills of Nepal.

Famous quotes containing the word research:
“One of the most important findings to come out of our research is that being where you want to be is good for you. We found a very strong correlation between preferring the role you are in and well-being. The homemaker who is at home because she likes that “job,” because it meets her own desires and needs, tends to feel good about her life. The woman at work who wants to be there also rates high in well-being.”
—Grace Baruch (20th century)
“After all, the ultimate goal of all research is not objectivity, but truth.”
—Helene Deutsch (1884–1982)
“Feeling that you have to be the perfect parent places a tremendous and completely unnecessary burden on you. If we’ve learned anything from the past half-century’s research on child development, it’s that children are remarkably resilient. You can make lots of mistakes and still wind up with great kids.”
—Lawrence Kutner (20th century)
