On June 22, 1957, His Late Majesty King Mahendra, founded an autonomous institution called Nepal Sahitya Kala Academy to promote the nation's glory through the development of literature, culture, art and knowledge. The name of this institution changed on many occasions. In the same year it was called Nepal Academy after the promulgation of the Nepal Academy Act, and it was renamed Nepal Academy on March 3, 1958. From April 1967 onwards it came to be known as Nepal Rajkiya Pragya Pratisthan. Now again according to new act 2007 it was renamed Nepal Academy. These acts brought about certain changes not only in its constitution but also in its function. When it was first established, His Majesty himself was the Chancellor; but, later, this post was given to academicians who had rendered significant services in the field of literature, culture, art and knowledge. However, in the last act, the Prime Minister was made Chancellor and the Minister for Culture, Tourism and Civil Aviation was made Pro-chancellor. but at present according to the new act of 2007 the Prime Minister is the Chief Patron, the Minister for Culture and State Restructuring is Patron of Nepal Academy.
Nepal Academy is situated in the heart of the city, it has its own huge complex at Kamaladi. Its compound occupies 50 ropanis of land and the main building has an air-conditioned exhibition hall, a library, a seminar hall and an auditorium.The various Departments of Nepal Academy were established to study Nepal's languages, literature and culture to conduct research in the field of social sciences and philosophy to honour the nation's academicians and authors to incorporate people in creative and expressive works, and to promote national and international intellectual and cultural activities. At the time of its establishment, this institution was also supposed to look after the departments of knowledge and science; but, with the establishment of Nepal Academy for Science and Technology (NAST), these two departments have been removed from NA. At present Nepal Academy focuses on five major areas:
freely natural environment at the prime location.
I visited it several times during various seminars and workshops. It has a large area around fully developed.large gardens and proper walkways.
