Principal Message
It gives me immense pleasure to welcome you to the only constituent campus which was established six decades ago to impart higher education to women. It was established by its founders with the pious aim of higher education for women and churning empowered citizens nationally. With just a few intermediate and Bachelor level programs the Campus now runs Bachelor and Master level programs under Tribhuvan University Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, Management, and Science and Technology. We have received encouragement from our international well-wishers from Japan, Denmark, and the United Arab Emirates. Women’s education is not only their empowerment but also a game changer for home and workplace. Our Campus is centrally located in the heart of Kathmandu City. I also request students, faculty, and administrative staff to remain committed to the welfare and upliftment of Padma Kanya Multiple Campus.
