Nepal is known     for the country    of Everest and lord-Buddha. It is situated in between China and India. Kathmandu is the capital of Nepal ,  that is situated above 1200 meters      from sea level. The climate of Kathmandu is pleasant throughout the year, on an average 10^oC in the winter and 28^oC in summer. There is no snow fall in Kathmandu. The Nepalese currency is Rupee that is 1$ equal 75 Rupee (2004, June).    Nepal is famous for tourism due to beautiful sky-kissing mountains and wonderful natural environment and cultures. Nepalese people are very friendly, kind and there are no unpleasant incidents with tourists in the history. The education     sector of Nepal is growing very fast with the establishment of several universities, campuses     and higher educational centers. Food Science     and technology     institute is one of such an example that showed magnificent development to attract thousands of students to acquire academic qualification as well as research capability. The location for the establishment of CCT was selected for Dharan, because     eastern    region of Nepal is    most fertile with appropriate climatic condition throughout the year for the production of different types of food, vegetables as well as cash crops. Availability of fresh and low cost agro based raw materials as well as other important utilities, many agro based food    industries are set     up in the eastern reason of Nepal. In the beginning, the campus faced several problems including lack of buildings and sufficient teachers. The private buildings were hired in different locations ( Janapath, Laxi Sadak).    Thereafter      some wood huts were constructed under the    supervision of Dr. Bhadra Man Tuladhar in Bijayapur, Hattisar. In 1980 new      sophisticated lecture halls and    laboratory rooms were constructed at Hattisar and then classrooms were shifted in new building.    Later gradually    student hostels, teachers       quarters and     modern office building were constructed   designing with   nice fence and gardening around campus in about 500 hectors area.      Now the campus is very successfully running with full phase    having all modern facilities of research and development.
