Barun Multiple Campus

Introduction:

Barun Multiple Campus (BMC) was established in the community efforts in Khandbari Municipality, the headquarter of Sankhuwasabha District, in 1986 with the affiliation of Tribhuvan University. The name “Barun” has been derived from the holy river “Barun” which is originated from Mt. Makalu (8,463m) and flows to the South. The existing location of the campus is itself in a uniquely educational-fit place with an isolated little beautiful mound outside the main bazaar overseeing Mt. Makalu range, Arun Valley and a number of river basins and a forest bordering with the campus’ premise preserved by Community Forest Users’ Group.
