Bhojpure:

1. What have you done? Merely saying you have done is not enough. May I know what have you done.
2.  You wrote :"In that case I may donate. "
    Get off your high horse, because I am not asking you to donate in any of the projects. You want to donate, fine, go ahead and donate for these temples. If you don't want to donate, then just go to the bar and drink alcohol. Nobody gives a hoot what you do. It is your money and your conscience. If you don't feel like not donating, rest assured, nobody cares. 
3. Almost all colleges were made with the help of locals. Amrit Campus, Shankar Dev campus are even named after its first principle and major donors. But all highschools were built by some local participation. The biggest examples are actually in Chitwan. Almost all highschools there were built with the principle that land is donated by people and in some case local government, and the schools would be built with govt money. But locals ended up building schools anyway. Chitwan also leads the tradition of naming highschools: i.e. a donation of 30 lakh or more may end up getting you a name. Pious philonthropist such as Maiya Devi Shrestha has made a whole college for women (and yes, she makes lots of temples too). 

Regarding hospitals, even in Kathmandu, now they are getting huge private donations. For example, Min Bahadur Gurung's donation to make maternity ward in TU , in which he is donating a total of Rs 13 karod. Almost all hospitals have funds for poor people, often given by wealthy Kathmandu citizens. 

Most of the new hospitals have raised their funds by organizing mahayagya. And Mr Pokhrel and his father had done their bit for this.

So Bhojpure, if you don't want to donate, keep your money in your pocket. Nobody will bother you. I believe in giving, whether it is for temple or for something else. No one has the right to tell me where I spend my money. Period.
