How the Summer Break at Kathmandu University Has Provided Much in Terms of Relief to Private Affiliates.

This 10-day break will not only mean leisure and recreation; rather, KU has also lined up a series of workshops, seminars, and skill development programs.

The university will offer students and staff with an elicitation of the drive to be motivated towards activities such as volunteering, community services, and awareness drives. It is the prerogative of the KU to inculcate a feeling of responsibility and compassion among its students to make a difference in society and hopefully add value to other people’s existence.
