The headquarters of the establishment will be located in Kathmandu.
The Bill has been prepared so that the establishment can establish a teaching institution and teaching hospital as per the requirement.

The teaching institution has the principal and the hospital director in the hospital. The Principal of the concerned educational institute will be appointed to work full time for four years.
The Vice-Chancellor may, for four years, be appointed upon the recommendation of the Dean to act as the administrative head of the hospital.

In addition to the Act, the order regarding the formation committee of the Geta Medical College Infrastructure Development Committee, Government Medical College Infrastructure Construction Development Project, Ramraj Prasad Singh Health Sciences Establishment, 1 will be rejected.
The Vice-Chancellor has arranged that an inquiry committee may be constituted if a fourth member who is present in the meeting gives written notice to the Vice-Chancellor, saying that the Vice-Chancellor did not fulfill his position or conduct of the post or did not fulfill his duties honestly. The Vice-Chancellor will constitute a three-member investigation committee headed by a member of the House and a secretary of the Ministry.
Article 8 (1) of the Bill states that “If the Inquiry Committee recommends that the Vice-Chancellor does not fulfill his / her responsibilities, does not act conscientiously or does not perform his duties, and if it is passed by a meeting of the House, the Vice-Chancellor will automatically remove the Vice-Chancellor from his post. There is a law to be made. Similarly, there is a provision to remove the dean, principal and hospital director if they do not perform their duties responsibly.
