Rotary International Nepal has decided to award former vice chancellor of Kathmandu University (KU) Suresh Raj Sharma with the Gopal-Kamala Rajbhandari Award for Vocational Excellence.
In recognition of his 50 years of service to the education sector, Sharma will be given the award by President Ram Baran Yadav during a ceremony at Shital Niwas on Tuesday.
Sharma had resigned from the VC’s position on November 10 after discussions with PM Baburam Bhattarai, who is also the chancellor of KU, at the university’s medical school’s convocation ceremony.
The Gopal-Kamala Rajbhandari Award for Vocational Excellence is handed out biannually by Rotary Nepal, and is the largest cash prize given to contributors to the education sector in Nepal.
