Faculty and students of Nanaji Deshmukh Veterinary Science University (NDVSU) will visit Novosibirsk State Agricultural University, Russia under the head of International Exchange Programme (IEP). NDVSU, Vice Chancellor, Dr Sita Prasad Tiwari informed that International Exchange Programme has been initiated to provide exposure to children, encourage extra-curricular activities and prepare them to achieve their goals. Our intention is to expose them to matters beyond academics. This is our effort to make education more holistic. The University strongly believes in student exchange programmes. This is a system which not only develops the students at the academic level, but also provides them an opportunity to understand other cultures. This enables all-round development of the students. The Memorandum of Understanding signed on November 15, 2022 at NDVSU and Rector and Vice-Rector of Novosibirsk State Agricultural University (Novosibirsk, Russian Federation) agreed on the procedure for exchange of students and teachers.

 

Selected faculty for the tour include Dr AP Singh, Dr Amita Tiwari, Dr Apoorva Mishra and while students include Dr Ankita Mishra, Dr Neha Sharma, Dr Ishani Dixit, Dr Ayushi Chaurasia for 21 days from October 18 to November 7. Purpose of the overseas study tour is to describe the global nature of infectious disease threats, International framework for reducing animal and human health threats, and some global multidisciplinary initiatives including One Health and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Students will also learn how to apply key skills such as risk assessment, risk communication and proposal writing.

 

Exchange programs provide beneficial educational experiences for students, while also equip students with the opportunity to build deeper relationships by meeting and hosting international colleagues. By sending its students abroad on educational trips, NDVSU is providing them a chance to get acquainted with a new world and foster all kinds of essential life skills. Travel actually transforms students into global citizens better prepared to tackle the world.
