Two of the premier institutes — IIT Delhi and Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) — have signed an MoU to promote research, education and technological development.
“The main objectives of signing this MoU between the premier institutions are to recognise each other’s strengths and co-operate in research, education and technology developments in the disciplines of science, engineering, management and social sciences,” the JNU said, in a statement.
This collaboration will provide the two institutions to access each other’s libraries and central research facilities to intensify joint research projects and other related academic activities.
Vice-Chancellor of JNU, Professor M Jagadesh Kumar said that the collaboration will broaden the scope for research and teaching.
“JNU has already established the Special Centre for North Eastern Studies and a Special Centre for Disaster Research. Research in these areas will generate much input for policies and governmental programmes,” he said.
