Danphe Nepal Issues Official Clarification After Publishing Unverified Content Against The British College

A locally operated social media page using the name Danphe Nepal Media has issued a written clarification addressed to The British College, Kathmandu, following the circulation of unverified and misleading content about the institution on social media platforms.

Danphe Nepal Media is not a recognised national or international media organisation, nor does it function as a formally accredited journalistic body. The page operates primarily as a social-media-based content publisher and does not follow an established editorial framework or professional newsroom standards.

In the clarification letter, the publisher acknowledged that the content shared regarding The British College was based on third-party inputs and assumptions rather than verified institutional information. The letter further states that there was no deliberate intent to defame the institution and confirms the publisher’s willingness to review, correct, or amend content if inaccuracies are identified.

The communication comes after The British College initiated sustained digital enforcement and reputation-protection measures to address the spread of misleading narratives online. These actions were undertaken to safeguard institutional credibility and to counter the circulation of unverified claims originating from non-journalistic sources.

The clarification implicitly recognises that the previously published material may have had reputational implications and affirms openness to corrective action where factual discrepancies exist.

The British College, known for its academic standards, governance framework, and international partnerships, has reiterated its commitment to transparency, factual communication, and responsible public engagement. The institution has also emphasised that unverified social media narratives particularly those disseminated by entities operating outside recognised journalistic practices should not be regarded as credible representations of institutional reality.

The episode highlights a broader challenge faced by educational institutions and public organisations in the digital era, where unregulated social media publishers can rapidly disseminate content without accountability while presenting themselves as news platforms. As a result, institutions increasingly rely on verified journalism, formal communication channels, and due process to protect their reputation and ensure that accurate information prevails.

The British College continues to pursue appropriate legal, digital, and platform-based mechanisms to address misinformation responsibly and to maintain a clear, factual public record.
