Manipal group enters Nepal’s school sector
June 30th, 2009 - 4:22 pm ICT by IANSKathmandu, June 30 (IANS) After the Manipal Education and Medical Group and global online tutoring company TutorVista came together last year to launch Manipal K-12 Education that aims to provide technology supports to schools, the venture is now poised to enter Nepal’s education sector in a big way.
Manipal, which already has a collaboration with the government of Nepal since 1994 to run the Manipal College of Medical Sciences and a teaching hospital in Pokhara city, has teamed up with the Chaudhary Group, one of the biggest business houses in Nepal, with diverse interests ranging from construction, hotels and food and beverages, to run schools and high schools in Nepal.
Under the brand name CG-Manipal Schools, the partners will acquire the management of a chain of schools and high schools.
The Chaudhary Group already runs a premier school in Kathmandu, the Chandbagh School.
“The primary aim is to provide world-class education at reasonable costs to all Nepalis,” said Nirvana Chaudhary, the executive director of the Chaudhary Group.
Manipal already runs educational programmes in 20 countries.
