Tripura University seeks Bangladesh students

The Tripura University will launch a massive media campaign to attract Bangladesh students, its Vice-Chancellor Anjan Kumar Ghosh has said. The Tripura University is a federally-funded university that is seeking to create several centres of excellence. In 2012, it conferred an honorary D.Litt on Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. ‘We are trying to admit more students from Bangladesh in our campus and for which we will advertise in their media,’ Ghosh said while speaking to a delegation of Agartala Press Club in his office. ‘This will further strengthen the people-to-people contact between India and Bangladesh through exchange of students. We are aware that most of the important cities of Bangladesh are within close proximity of Tripura and from the queries across the border on the admission process we can well understand that large numbers of pupils are interested in studying here.” At present there are only five Bangladeshi students studying in Tripura University, according to bdnews24.com.
