National College for Higher Education (NCHE) was established in 1996 by a group of experienced and dedicated academicians for providing quality and need based education in a highly congenial academic environment. The broad objective of the college is to prepare and mould students capable of catering to the future manpower needs of the country.
Right from the inception, NCHE has been striving for academic excellence towards overall personality development of students with the growing needs for competent professionals in the country. NCHE created the Center for Development Studies (CeDS) in 1999. CeDS has been offering need based academic programs: Bachelor in Development Studies (BDevS) and Bachelor in Development Finance (BDFin) in affiliation with Kathmandu University (KU). Besides these, CeDS has a separate research and development wing for conducting research and training activities. The motto of the CeDS is to inculcate knowledge to the students through holistic approach of teaching, training and research.
