In a bid
to enhance academic experience and cultural understanding, a private law school
here has joined hands with the School of Law, Tsinghua University in China.
Jindal Global Law School (JGLS) of O P Jindal
Global University (JGU) has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the
Chinese university to collaborate on research, faculty and student exchange
programmes and semester abroad programmes, a press statement issued by JGU said.
Professor
C Raj Kumar, Vice Chancellor of JGU, said the relationship with China and
Tsinghua University is special in the wake of the Prime Minister Narendra
Modi's China visit and his "Make in India" focus.
"We
have had opportunity to partner with top universities across globe having
signed MoUs for cooperation and friendship with them, but this relationship
with China and the Tsinghua University is truly special especially in the wake
of the PM's China visit and his 'Make in India' focus.
"JGLS
has also signed MoU with the top universities in France and Singapore to
provide collaborative opportunities for its faculty and students.
I believe we should also promote a campaign
for 'Making India' an intellectual power to reckon with and collaborations such
as these will go a long way in fulfilling that vision," Kumar said.
Professor
Kalyani Unkule, Assistant Dean International Collaborations of JGLS, said
"these are not just practical partnerships but are rooted in sheer
ambition and inspiration to provide a global platform of higher learning in
India".
The law school has recently signed MoUs with universities in France and Singapore for the same purposes.
