Nepal Sanskrit Student Union also became passive and less meaningful.

The pollitical parties in which ethics and belief, the students were concerned, were directly or indirectly opposing the Panchyati tyrants.

Intra College Students Assembly: Before 2007 B.S., there was only one college in Nepal which was Tri-Chandra College. In Tri-Chandra College only the arts education was available. During that period those students who were interested to study science in further level should go to India.
