MCU Vice Chancellor Prof (Dr ) K G Suresh signed the MoU with Prof (Dr) M Lutfar Rahman providing for academics including faculty and student exchanges between the two premier Universities.

MCU VC terms the MoU 'landmark'

In his remarks on the occasion, Prof Suresh termed the agreement as a landmark as it implemented the spirit of the National Education Policy 2020 which envisions internationalisation of the Indian education system and making India a global education hub.

Prof Rahman expressed the hope that the MoU would usher in closer cooperation between the two institutions in the domain of research.
