Proposal for engineering college to local authority

Short answer

Bidur lacks an engineering college, forcing students to study expensively elsewhere. A private college with 180 seats (Civil, Computer, Electrical) costing Rs. 30 crore will create 150 jobs. Work begins with a feasibility study, land lease, and building the academic block.

Assume that you are requested to write a proposal on establishing an engineering college in your local town. Write a proposal to the concerned local authority including only abstract, objectives, rationale and methodology.

Abstract

Bidur and the nearby municipalities of Nuwakot district have no engineering college, although many students from the area complete Grade 12 science each year. They have to go to Kathmandu, which is costly, or abroad. This proposal asks Bidur Municipality to support the establishment of a private engineering college in the town, with programmes in civil, computer and electrical engineering, 180 seats per year, affiliated with a national university. The municipality is requested to provide land on a long lease and to help with road and water access. The college will be developed in three phases, and the total investment is estimated at Rs. 30 crore. It will bring education, jobs and economic activity to the town.

Objectives

  1. To establish a quality engineering college in Bidur.
  2. To provide affordable technical education to local students.
  3. To produce qualified engineers needed for infrastructure and IT in the region.
  4. To create employment and boost the local economy.
  5. To encourage research and community projects with the municipality.

Rationale

  • Local need: over 600 students from the area complete Grade 12 science each year, but they cannot easily get admission to engineering colleges.
  • Cost saving: studying at home saves families the cost of lodging in Kathmandu.
  • Suitable location: Bidur is the district headquarters, on the road from Kathmandu to Trishuli, about 70 km from the capital. It has a district hospital, a mild climate, a peaceful environment and land available for lease.
  • Economic benefit: the college will create about 150 jobs and give business to local shops and hostels.
  • National need: Nepal needs trained engineers for roads, hydropower and building safety.

Methodology

  1. A feasibility study and master plan (3 months).
  2. A land lease agreement with the municipality, and company registration.
  3. Approval from the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology, and affiliation from the university.
  4. Phase 1 building (academic block, labs, library) in 12 months.
  5. Recruiting qualified faculty and staff, buying lab equipment, and starting the first batch.
  6. Phases 2 and 3: hostel, sports ground and additional laboratories.
  7. Yearly evaluation by an academic council with local representatives.
