Amrit Campus

Amrit Campus, formerly known as Public Science College (ASCOL), was named after late Amrit Prasad Pradhan. Pradhan was born in 1918 at Thamel, Kathmandu, Nepal. He served as the headmaster of Juddhodaya Public High School in Birgunj for two years and later joined Tri-Chandra College as a Lecturer in Chemistry. In 1962, he became the founder Principal of Public Science College (at present Amrit Campus) and began teaching as Professor of Chemistry.

Late Principal Amrit Prasad Pradhan established Amrit Campus with a view to promote the study of science and technology in Nepal. He threw himself heart and soul into its development. The campus has benefited greatly from his spirit of enterprise, dedication and enthusiasm.[citation needed] While on a mission to the United States for a cause connected with the college, he died in an air crash over Mont Blanc on January 24, 1966.
