ucknow University is attracting a large number Lof foreign students who are joining various cours- es under several schemes of ICCR. Director of International Collaboration and International Student Advisor, Lucknow University, RP Singh from the English department said that they are work- ing on the university’s vision and their efforts would be to attract more and more students. He said that 59 international students have already joined LU since November last year and four more are slated to join within the next fortnight. “These 59 students are from various African countries such as Kenya, Uganda, Laos, Afghanistan, Taiwan etc. The four which are scheduled to arrive include three from African countries and one from Thailand,” he said. He added that they have given admission to 80 students, but it depends on clear- ance from respective embassies. Citing the reasons why these students are opt- ing for Lucknow University, Singh said: “Our grad- ing has increased and we have a good ranking amongst higher education institutes. Besides, the research work, culture and Lucknow city attract the students. The quality of education, facilities which we are providing and the initiatives of the vice-chan- cellor also help,” he said. He added that the foreign students have joined the departments of English, Commerce, Management, Botany, Physics, Chemistry, Public Administration and Law. He pointed out said they have recently estab- lished Centre of International Affairs. “We will have several programmes and add-on courses for students. We will also survey their requirements and then do some post-doc courses for them, We will also pub- lish an international journal with these students,” he said. Singh said they have big plans for the foreign students. “We will be starting a cross-cultural dia- logue. We will let them share their culture and we will also share our culture to create what is called cultural diplomacy. When we talk about global sce- nario, youths from different parts of the world should come together and talk about environment and other concerns,” he said. .   &  $03

Lucknow (PNS): A myna, which was found dead in Gomtinagar, led to bird flu scare on Tuesday as huge crowd assembled at the scene and police had to reach the place to handle the situation. However, Animal Husbandry director RP Singh said it was a single bird which died accidentally. “Autopsy was conducted and the report showed that the bird died due to an accident. It probably collid- ed with a vehicle,” he said. He added that it was an unnecessary panic as bird flu scare can be real only when several birds die for days together. He said the bird flu concerns are confined to Pilibhit, Muzaffarnagar and Kanpur. “There have been no mass mortalities but proper containment activities are being underway. Culling was done in Pilibhit where six poultry birds were found dead,” he said. ,    !" ! #
