Founded in October 2017 by the legislature-parliament, Rajarshi Janak University stands as a testament to Nepal’s commitment to advancing education, particularly in the Madhesh Province. The university’s establishment was formalized through the passage of a bill. Nestled in the cultural heart of Janakpur, the institution draws its name from the esteemed King Janak, a legendary figure in Mithila. This naming reflects a deep connection to the region’s rich heritage, symbolizing a commitment to preserving and advancing traditional values within a contemporary educational framework.
The university’s infrastructure is a blend of collaborative efforts and independent initiatives. While some facilities were provided by Tribhuvan University based on governmental decisions, Rajarshi Janak University has taken strides in establishing its own infrastructure. This strategic combination reflects the institution’s dedication to academic autonomy and self-sufficiency, ensuring a holistic approach to educational development and fostering a dynamic environment for both faculty and students.
