Agreement will pave way for student and faculty exchange

Coimbatore: East University of Sri Lanka is likely to sign a memorandum of understanding with Bharathiar varsity here, which will help co-operation and co-ordination between the two institutions of higher learning. For the benefit of students from both countries.

According to a release issued here by C.M. Ravichandran, Professor and Head of the Department of Tamil of Bharathiar University, a proposal regarding this agreement was mooted during the discussions that the Head of the Department of Fine Arts of the East University, C. Mounaguru, had with the Vice-Chancellor of Bharathiar University, G. Thiruvasagam, a few days ago.

Prof. Thiruvasagam had “accepted this in principle” and had directed Prof. Ravichandran to initiate steps in this regard, so that the scheme could become a reality as soon as possible, for the benefit of students in both countries.

The proposed agreement would pave way for student and faculty academic exchange, coordinated efforts with regard to research and cultural activities in both countries, and revamping of the syllabi of the two universities.

This would make it possible for a student to be able to get the same degree after studying in both universities.

In this way, students from Tamil Nadu would be able to study Tamil in Sri Lanka and vice versa.

Prof. Mounaguru said at the conclusion of the discussions that he would take up the proposal with the Vice Chancellor of the Sri Lankan university.

He was in Coimbatore to deliver a special lecture on plays that were video graphed in his country.
