Ganesh Bahadur Thapa, Chief of Natural History Museum, was appointed in 2020 with the hope to develop the scene of the museum. However, due to COVID, the whole nation was in lockdown which affected the museum’s infrastructure as there was no earning and all of the plans were on hold.

“While Tribhuvan University (TU) provided salaries to the workers, there is still a lack of capital for the maintenance of the museum,” says Thapa.
