NEHU to set up Russian language centre in M’laya

North Eastern Hill University (NEHU), a central varsity in Meghalaya, would soon establish a Russian Language Centre and explore avenues for future collaboration in education, research, and student mobility.
The proposal was made during a virtual meeting between NEHU and Russian institutions and aims to deepen strategic partnership to further strengthen Indo-Russian academic cooperation, NEHU Vice Chancellor Prof. Prabha Shankar Shukla said. Shukla said the proposed centre hopes to provide language instruction and cultural understanding, empowering students to stand shoulder to shoulder with their global counterparts. “This is not just about language instruction. It is about empowering our students to stand shoulder to shoulder with their global counterparts,” he said.
Ufa University of Science and Technology (UUST), a Russian institute, expressed interest in welcoming tribal students from North East India for internships, academic programs, and collaborative research.
“We are eager to welcome tribal students from the North East of India to participate in internships, short-term academic programs, and collaborative research at Ufa,” Vice-Chancellor for International Affairs, UUST, Rita Filippova said
