Abstract
The idea of building the Jelebu Observatory was first planned in 2005. After some extended radio frequency interference (RFI) survey and deep discussion with local administrators near the site, a concrete plan is now being made. The observatory will cover low-frequency observations of solar radio astronomy and will host a medium-sized radio telescope for hydrogen and formaldehyde spectral line observations. The main science goals will be to study Active Galactic Nuclei, Galaxy Clusters and Cosmology. The report will include the status of the early planning as well as early construction progress of the observatory.
