Description:
The author argues that the out-dated curriculum in Tribhuvan University led to the gradual loss of the charm and appeal of the social sciences. Now the mushrooming of NGOs has opened up new avenues and broadened the scope of social sciences research. The article attempts to explore the history of social sciences in Nepal. Social sciences research in Nepal began in the 1950s and was dominated by foreign scholars, but presently the interest of overseas researchers has declined considerably. The article includes a table with the dates of UGC grants for research and other related activities. (Rajeev Ranjan Singh 2006-10-06)
