The University Grants Commission (UGC) Nepal, Sanothimi, Bhaktapur has published an important administrative notice regarding the submission of progress reports and required institutional documentation for programs running under the Nurturing Excellence in Higher Education Program (NEHEP). The circular, issued under the Higher Education Excellence Promotion Program on 2083-07-17 (Kartik 17, 2083), directly concerns approved Leadership and Management Development Programs (LMDPs) under Disbursement Linked Indicator 1 (DLI 1) whose fund releases remain pending.
The notification addresses administrative challenges faced by higher education institutions where formal university Academic Councils (प्राज्ञिक परिषद) have experienced prolonged delays in formation. To ensure uninterrupted academic operations and facilitate the timely release of allocated grant funds, UGC has introduced an interim academic approval mechanism.

Interim Academic Approval and Submission Guidelines
Institutions operating Commission-approved LMDPs programs whose grant disbursements are awaiting clearance must comply with the following procedural steps:
- Interim Faculty Council Approval: Recognizing that central Academic Councils could not be constituted for an extended period, institutions must have their detailed LMDPs curriculum approved in the interim by their respective Faculty Council (विद्यापरिषद).
- Subsequent Academic Council Ratification: Final formal curriculum endorsement will be executed once the university Academic Council is officially established and active.
- Dean Certification: All progress reports and supporting curriculum documents must be formally certified and verified by the Dean of the respective faculty, school, or institute.
- Submission Timeline: All verified documentation and expenditure or progress records must be physically submitted to the UGC Nepal office on or before 2083-07-30.
- Fund Release Clearance: The release of remaining budgetary installments from UGC under NEHEP DLI 1 remains strictly contingent upon the timely receipt of these certified documents.
