NSUI stage protest at Telangana education min’s house over pvt universities

[ad_1]
Hyderabad: The National Students Union of India (NSUI) Telangana unit leaders tried to lay siege to the house of Education Minister, P. Sabitha Indra Reddy here on Tuesday to protest against the government for allowing private universities without giving proper permission.
The protesters gathered outside the residence of the minister in Srinagar Colony in the Ameerpet area, demanding that the government cancel permission to unrecognised universities.
Police arrested the NSUI leaders who tried to lay siege. Fifteen leaders, including NSUI Telangana president Balmoori Venkat, were arrested. They were shifted to Goshamahal Police Station.

Balmoori Venkat alleged that private universities were cheating the students. He had earlier said that they would lodge complaints against Gurunanak and Srinidhi universities for allowing admissions illegally.
He said the government was allowing private universities without giving proper permission. In 2008, the state government gave permission for five private universities and in 2021, the government again gave permission to six universities.
“The Governor’s approval is necessary for the setting up of private universities under the proper guidelines. But, the state government has given permission to private universities which have violated rules in accepting admissions for students without proper facilities,” he said, and demanded that the education department take action against the private universities which are running illegally in the state.
Venkat alleged that with the political influence, the management has set up private universities and indulged in cheating students by collecting huge fees from parents. The management also influenced their students to stage dharna at Governor’s residence for delay in giving approvals.

JKAS Officer Bags Admission In Top Global Universities

[ad_1]
SRINAGAR: Athar Amin Zargar, an officer in the Jammu and Kashmir Administrative Services (JKAS), has been offered a place in two highly competitive Master’s programs in public policy at the world’s top-ranking universities, the London School of Economics (LSE), and the National University of Singapore’s Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy (NUS). This is an impressive accomplishment, considering the stiff competition and the institutions’ reputation as leading schools for public policy.
Zargar, who is currently serving as the Sub Divisional Magistrate at Thathri sub-division of Doda district in Jammu and Kashmir, has been recognized for his outstanding work in the public sector. He has been involved in various infrastructure development projects, including dams, bridges, roads, and building construction. Additionally, he has assisted new entrepreneurs in establishing their businesses in the conflict region of Kashmir. In 2018, he became the Block Development Officer, generating employment for 12,000 rural households and building footpaths, schools, playfields, and bridges in rural areas. Since 2020, he has been responsible for maintaining law and order and executing welfare schemes and services of the government as the sub-divisional magistrate at Thathri.
Zargar’s contributions extend beyond his professional accomplishments. He has introduced and provided guidance for starting snow skiing in the Doda district, founded and heads a trekking group named “Team Caliper,” and established white water rafting on the river Chenab. His work has earned him recognition, including the National Award for 2018-19 from the Ministry of Rural Development, Government of India, and a state award from the government of Jammu and Kashmir for implementing the National Food Security Act.
Zargar’s admission to LSE and NUS is a testament to his leadership skills and dedication to public service. This achievement highlights his academic and professional capabilities, opening doors to new opportunities and exposure to different cultures and ways of thinking. Zargar’s journey from an engineering graduate to a public servant is a remarkable one. His achievements reflect his commitment to making a positive difference in society and serve as an inspiration to young people aspiring to work in the public sector.
Zargar’s offers from top universities worldwide are expected to prepare him for a future role in public service on a larger scale. The LSE and NUS are renowned institutions that attract top talent from across the globe, and Zargar’s success is a reflection of his outstanding work and leadership qualities.

Yoga soon to be introduce in major universities in Saudi Arabia

[ad_1]
Riyadh: The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is looking to sign several agreements with major universities and regions to support the practice of yoga in the coming months as it continues to support sports that have achieved historical achievements in the past, the Saudi Press Agency (SPA) reported.
This was revealed by Saudi Yoga Committee President Nouf Al-Marwaai during a forum titled— “The Role of University Sports in Supporting the Homeland’s Sport”, which was organized by the Sports Federation of Saudi Universities in Riyadh on Tuesday, February 28.
Nouf Al-Marwaai stressed the importance of introducing yoga asana in the system of university games.
She added that the committee aims to discover the talents of distinguished players in all kinds of yoga sports in general and yogaasana, to support them to participate in local and international tournaments.
Al-Marwaai called for the practice of yoga to become a sustainable activity in universities, whether it is practising yoga for health and wellness, hatha yoga and its styles, or yogasana.
“Yoga gives its practitioners many health benefits (for) both physical and mental well-being,” she said, adding that “One of the most important pillars of achieving Vision 2030 is to enhance participation in sports activities, and to achieve sports excellence locally, continentally, and internationally.”

In November 2017, Saudi Arabia’s ministry of commerce approved the teaching and practice of yoga as a sport in the Kingdom.
On March 9, 2022, an introductory lecture was held that highlighted the cooperation between the SYC (Saudi Yoga Committee) and the Saudi School Sports Federation.

Nouf Marwaai is the first Saudi Yogacharya. Marwaai is also the founder of the Arab Yoga Foundation, which was established in 2010. It was the first yoga organization in the Gulf region.

Over 3 lakh Indian students to join UK Universities in 2023: UKScholar Forecast

[ad_1]
Hyderabad: When considering that just 54000 students visited the UK in 2021, the stats are even more startling. A sixfold increase is therefore expected in 2023.
Commenting on the immigration report released by the government of the United Kingdom, Bharath Kumar Ryaga, the Chief Operating Officer of UKScholar, shared, “The dream of Indian students to work in the UK post their study has made a huge comeback in the post-pandemic world. Because of the Graduation Immigration Route, students who graduate from UK institutions can work there for up to two years without a tier-2 visa! This is a terrific opportunity for Indian students.”
With the number of career options in the UK reaching unprecedented levels, UKScholar provided university and visa consultation services for three times as many Indian students in 2022. Only recently, the University of Essex in the United Kingdom announced its GREAT Scholarships, valued at 10,000 pounds, for Indian students enrolled in any one-year Master’s program.
To top it off, the UK government has granted 75 fully funded scholarships for Indian students. These scholarships have been announced as part of the “Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav,” India’s 75th anniversary of independence.
Correspondingly, it should be noted that in the past few months, both countries have implemented measures for Indian students to gain easier access to visas. The United Kingdom has declared that Indian students will receive their visas within 15 business days. The British High Commissioner, Alex Ellis, referred to it as “great news for the living bridge” because this makes it much easier for individuals to travel between India and the UK.
Unlike the case in the US or Canada, most post-graduate degrees in the UK are for one year. This gives a distinct cost advantage for Indian graduates to pursue a master’s degree in a first-world country. Owing to the Graduation Immigration Route, UKScholar believes that Indian students can land lucrative job offers in the UK. This has inspired confidence and trust among students from countries around the globe. If you are a working professional or a recent graduate, progress in your chosen career is your topmost priority. A postgraduate degree from the UK improves the odds of landing up with a dream job in any field.
To avail of scholarships and get placements, one must select the right university and course. By choosing the right overseas education consultancy, the entire overseas education plan gets processed sooner than expected.
UKScholar is a leading overseas education consultancy specialising in education in the UK for Indian students. One may seek counselling for course selection, city selection, university selection, smooth application processing, aiding best scholarships, visa processing, and post-visa support by getting in touch with the professionals at UKScholar, who have decades of expertise offering end-to-end services.

Florida eyes banning TikTok at state universities

[ad_1]
“As a state university system, we have an obligation to protect our research,” said Alan Levine, president and CEO of Ballad Health who chairs the BOG’s strategic planning committee.
A growing number of states and colleges have taken actions against TikTok, owned by the Chinese firm ByteDance, amid security concerns and government directives calling to restrict access to the app. It’s banned on government devices in dozens of states while colleges are seeking to block access to TikTok on Wi-Fi and school-issued devices.
Florida’s flagship school, the University of Florida, is among the first institutions in the state to make a move against TikTok by suggesting that students delete the app and discontinue its use. Some Florida officials, namely state Chief Financial Officer Jimmy Patronis, are pushing for schools to make stricter efforts against the app.
“It’s very concerning having TikTok on our university campuses,” Patronis wrote in a tweet Monday. “We are the most innovative country on the planet and we are allowing this app to go unchecked. All of the Chancellors need to make this a priority, and if they don’t, Trustees should get involved.”
That message appears to be resonating with Board of Governors members who agreed Tuesday that the panel should pursue new regulations surrounding TikTok at Florida universities.
“When you think about the potential dangers to students and their data, and the potential dangers to our faculty and the work and the labor they’ve put into research, and the danger to the taxpayers of the theft of that research, all of this together means we probably need a policy statewide,” Levine said.
Actions against TikTok were not included on Tuesday’s meeting agenda. Instead, Levine informally gauged BOG members on their appetite for making a move, which was met with approval from several on the board.
Levine said he wants university leaders to help craft a statewide rule surrounding the app that can be proposed at the next regular BOG meeting. The board is slated to hold a conference call in February and a typical meeting in March.

“You could talk about the anxiety-inducing tool of conformity that TikTok has been called, but that’s a whole ‘nother issue,” said BOG member Timothy Cerio, general counsel and Chief Legal Officer of Citizens Property Insurance Corporation. “But I think this is the right direction we need to go – we need to protect our intellectual material.”
