Dear Friends:
Thanks to all efforts and goodwill of so many people including those in Nepal’s Ministry of Education, NRNA, CFFN, Athabasca University, and other friends of and from Nepal, the Initiative for Open University of Nepal (OUN) has gained a strong ground in recent months. The signing of the “Resolution on Initiative for Open University of Nepal 2010” on October 7, 2010 in Kathmandu by President of NRNA Mr. Dev Man Hirachan and Ministry of Education Representative on Initiative for OUN, Mr. Janardan Nepal, in witness of Minister of Education Hon. Sarvendra Nath Shukla, and President of International Council for Open and Distance Education Dr. Frits Pannekoek was a landmark event for OUN. The formation and endorsement of Steering Committee led by the Ministry of Education and also the formation of Nepali National Advisory Committee to guide the Steering Committee was also a major step forward.
