Overview
Ratna Rajya Laxmi Campus (RR Campus) was established on 4 Bhadra, 2018 BS (20 August 1961 AD), as a public campus on Exhibition Road (Pradarshanimarga) in Kathmandu, Nepal. Initially, it was named Ratna Rajya Laxmi Girls’ College. The campus occupies about eight Ropanis of land, with Exhibition Road to the East, Adwaitmarga to the West, Kathmandu Model Hospital to the North, and Law Campus to the South. It is one of the constituent campuses of Tribhuvan University.
On those days, classes were conducted only during the morning shift. It offered Intermediate of Arts Courses with various Humanities and Social Sciences majors. In the higher caste families, girls of Kathmandu Valley received an education. During Girls’ College, it upgraded to BA level in 2021 BS. The college's location was shifted from Putali Sadak to Pradarsani Marga in 2024 BS, which stands proudly to this date, catering to invaluable knowledge in various Humanities and Social Sciences fields. Since 2024 BS, Ratna Rajya Laxmi Girls’ College has been affiliated with Tribhuvan University. In 2025, it became multiple colleges as it added management programs and humanities courses. It ran a Management program up to 2030 BS.
The college became co-ed and was made open to all Nepalese families by changing it from Ratna Rajyalaxmi Girls’ College to Ratna Rajyalaxmi Campus in 2031 BS. It later became popularized as RR Campus. By 2031, Ratna Rajya Laxmi Campus became well-known as the center of Humanities and Social Sciences, a renowned constituent campus of Tribhuvan University. The number of students so grew that Ratna Rajyalaxmi Campus ran IA classes in three shifts with varieties of majors to address the student pressure since 2037 B.S. Humanities and social sciences courses thrived with the scintillating image of Ratna Rajyalaxmi Campus in the three different shifts.
Since 2038 BS, the RR Campus has offered BA-level programs in all subjects provided in IA only on the morning shift. Similarly, it provided BA-level courses in all three shifts up to the 2072 BS academic session. However, it has slashed its evening shift BA program since 2073. Now, BA programs are only offered on the morning and day shifts.
In 2031 BS, the college became co-ed and opened to all Nepalese families, changing its name from Ratna Rajyalaxmi Girls’ College to Ratna Rajyalaxmi Campus.
The prominent wooing factor of this Campus is its location. Housing the Central Department of Journalism and Mass Communication within the same compound is another prolific feature of the RR Campus, which defines it, too. RR Campus has become a choice or priority for many students from all walks of life who seek quality education in the Humanities and Social Sciences. Academic excellence is an inescapable feature of this campus. RR Campus has preserved its long-standing quality and upheld the prestige of TU's Humanities and Social Sciences Department.
RR Campus has progressed through various fluctuations of political power, from the Panchayat Regime to the present situation, accepting every positive change in the nation. RR Campus is still contributing to the progress of higher-level education by providing different subjects in the Humanities and Social Sciences sector.
Along with two compulsory subjects, Nepali and English, 15 major BA subjects are taught at RR Campus. RR Campus has continuously offered majors in Nepali, English, Economics, Political Science, History, Geography, Home Science, Mathematics, Music, Psychology, Population Studies, Sociology and Anthropology, Journalism and Mass Communication, and Rural Development. From this year, RR Campus has offered a Bachelor of Social Work (BSW) on the morning shift.
Similarly, RR Campus has been offering the last batch of the Annual System of Master’s Degrees as well as Semester courses in seven subjects: Nepali, English, Economics, Population Studies, Sociology, Anthropology and Journalism, and Mass Communication. Similarly, it offers Master’s Degree semester courses in Nepali, English, Economics, Population Studies, Sociology and Journalism, and Communication courses from this year. RR Campus planned to run the First Semester of Master’s Degree Courses in Anthropology. Still, less than 10 students filled out the form in the Dean’s Office of the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences (FOHSS) by the last of Baishakh 2074 BS.
As a result, the program was disqualified. MA-level Journalism and Mass Communication has been run separately in the semester system for the last four years by the Central Department of Journalism and Mass Communication on RR Campus premises. The lab consists of modern photo, television, and radio equipment. The Journalism and Mass Communication Department has started the M. Phil. program.
Other programs are in the pipeline, such as an MA in Political Science, a Bachelor’s in Computer Application (BCA), and an M. Phil in English. More than 7,000 students are enrolled in the morning, day, and evening shifts at different levels on this Campus.
