It can be implemented via National Regional Educational Network. For the sustainability of any educational network, active stakeholders play a vital role. These stakeholders could be considered as the major contributors of a knowledge base. The main aim of this research paper is to provide a model of various knowledge base through the inclusion of active stakeholders for the sustainability of educational network in Nepal. The implementation of knowledge base is done through the three models. The first model provides implementation in an academic institution. The second approach provides implementation in NREN. The third model referred as hybrid provides implementation of Knowledge base in both academic institutions and NREN. It is expected that this research will enhance the performance of existing NREN. Finally this research will help to minimize the digital divide of Nepal.
