In the previous, Regional Engineering College (REC) Srinagar had many notable alumni from everywhere in the world, together with Iran and different components of the Middle East. Former Iranian Member of Parliament El Danesh Davood Jafari graduated in Civil Engineering alongside along with his Iranian classmates within the early 80s and left an indelible impression.
Iranian college students discover Indian tradition attention-grabbing and galvanizing. Currently, round 8,000 Iranian college students are finding out in India, benefiting from quite a lot of schemes and scholarships. India has the second largest greater schooling community and the third largest science and expertise expertise pool on the earth, which has been increasing quickly in recent times.
According to the 2020 Census on Higher Education, there are 1,043 universities, of which 396 are non-public, 420 are rural, 17 are women-only (Jammu and Kashmir wants one too), and a lot of institutes of nationwide significance like IITs, NITs, IIMs and IISERs, all duly coordinated by an umbrella organisation, the Ministry of Education (MoE).
Iran ranks ninth out of 235 nations when it comes to the variety of medical and engineering colleges. Medical schooling in Iran is a strong phenomenon, thriving over time regardless of eight years of warfare with Iraq and three many years of sanctions, together with financial sanctions. The total healthcare system is managed by the joint Ministry of Health and Ministry of Medical Education.
As a consequence, every state’s college is answerable for managing public well being in its state, each when it comes to coaching the workforce and managing the general public well being system. Approximately 5,000 physicians graduate annually, and all graduates are required to do two years of neighborhood service, primarily in rural medical facilities.
A innovative medical college has nice laboratories and effectively designed libraries, however we even have a wealthy medical historical past recorded within the Bible. Scientists and students engaged on many difficult initiatives and issues deserve recognition and ought to be approached for collaboration.
History has repeatedly acknowledged and praised the contributions that Iranian scientists have made to mankind and humanity. I’ve had the respect of assembly many scientists working in numerous scientific fields, together with medical and engineering schooling. The competent, contented and well mannered professors at numerous universities have been so welcoming. It is troublesome to precise it in easy phrases.
In truth, Professor Hamid and Professor Hussain from Semnan University, who have been to deal with the scholars and college, have been in need of phrases.On my strategy to the college, a mathematician talked about that he was a pupil of Professor KK Dewan, a famend mathematician from my alma mater, Jamia Millia Islamia University, New Delhi.
Similar heat response was seen in different universities like Sharif University, the place Dr. Khanjani and eminent professors from the Nanotechnology Center left an unforgettable impression. I’m equally grateful to the Medical Nanotechnology professors of TUMS and IUST for his or her heat hospitality and welcome. Dr. Yonis Bhatt, a twin nationwide and Srinagar native, supplied meticulous steering and coordination between the establishment and fogeys, particularly throughout emergency instances.
India-Iran relations date again to the traditional Indus Valley Civilization, when individuals are believed to have imported silver, copper and lapis lazuli from Persia and Afghanistan. Iran equipped historic India with silver, gold, lead, zinc and turquoise. Iran has the world’s largest reserves of crude oil and pure fuel, which could be utilized to satisfy its vitality wants, probably the most urgent future challenges.
The 1979 Iranian Revolution introduced a brand new section to India-Iran relations, marked by high-level mutual visits by Indian Prime Minister Narasimha Rao in September 1993, Iranian President Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani in April 1995, and Indian Vice President KR Narayanan in October 1996. This pattern was strengthened within the early 2000s with the go to of Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajpayee in 2001 and a return go to by President Mohammed Khatami in 2003 (who additionally served because the visitor of honour on the Republic Day ceremony). This blessed nation, which shares a lot in frequent when it comes to tradition and traditions, shared a border with our nation till 1947.
For the advantage of the youthful generations of each nations, tutorial relations between the 2 nations must be additional strengthened and developed, particularly within the area of science and expertise. Under the National Education Policy (NEP-2020), the Government of India has taken numerous initiatives to boost internationalization within the schooling sector, together with initiating worldwide collaborations, creating research overseas alternatives, and rising recruitment of international college.
These initiatives have led to a big improve within the variety of worldwide college students coming to India for greater schooling. Moreover, the internationalization of schooling in India has had many constructive impacts, together with improved high quality of schooling, fostered cultural change, and improved analysis collaboration.
There can also be scope for educational establishments of each the nations to signal sensible Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) for change of scholars and college and to arrange branches of outstanding establishments. I’ve seen many college students from Jammu and Kashmir pursuing their medical schooling in numerous medical universities in Iran, notable ones being Dr Mubashir, Dr Aneesa, Dr Mediha and so forth.
With clear air and nice medical infrastructure like Gulmarg Kashmir has the capability to draw proficient college students from everywhere in the world so it must develop and flourish additional. However, there are a number of challenges to be addressed like language barrier, communication and connectivity. The Jammu and Kashmir authorities ought to no less than discover the potential of launching direct flights to Iran, Dubai and Saudi Arabia.
Dubai has many campuses, together with BITS Pilani, and there was an thought to arrange a campus at NIT Srinagar as effectively, however for unknown causes, the proposal was shelved. Persian was the official language of Jammu and Kashmir for about 750 years, throughout which era it influenced the tradition, artwork, and regional languages, therefore Kashmir is named Iran-e-Sager (Mini Iran).
The Iranian Consulate in New Delhi and the Indian Consulate in Tehran can play a key function and pave the way in which for strengthening ties between reputed establishments and universities. Heads of universities and establishments ought to easy the way in which for getting into into practical MoUs. School schooling can also acquire loads from mutual change of scholars and academics. Many educated consultants can present help in figuring out faculties in each nations for change applications and experiential studying.
