KAFCOL Calendar 2082

My Kathmandu Forestry College Reflections

My four years at KAFCOL passed quicker than I could have ever imagined. I know I’m not exactly old, but I realize how true it is that time seems to fly by as you grow older. There’s no more sitting in the 7 am lecture during winters, struggling to keep my eyes open and wishing for Saturday to come sooner. Instead, I seemed to have blinked and the entire four years is over now. I want to share my journey, from being a very frightened fresher in 2013, to a happy, confident alumni of KAFCOL now pursuing their MSc in Sustainable Tropical Forestry in Europe through the Erasmus Mundus Scholarship. This has been possible because of how KAFCOL nurtured me.

I am where am I today because of all the support that I received from KAFCOL. From the administration staffs to my professors, each and everyone helped me grow and realize my potential. The support from the teaching staffs in and outside the classrooms must be pointed out as I believe this played a massive role in my personal and professional growth. The emphasis on learning by doing is evident from the numerous field trips and practical work that the students carry out every semester. Moreover, studying forestry at Kathmandu Forestry College is worth it!
