Aizawl, May 31 : With a view to strengthen bilateral relations with India, Russia has offered 200 MBBS seats for Mizoram.
This is a part of Indo-Russian Friendship Society’s endeavour to promote friendly cooperation, particularly in the field of education, Mizoram Higher and Technical Education Director Dr H L Malsawma said here today.
”Mizoram, because of its high literacy percentage, has been given this considerable number of quotas,” he said.
”We have the opportunity to send as many as 200 students to pursue MBBS in Russia provided there are required number of qualified students from here,” the director said.
Dr Malsawma, also chairman of the Indo-Russian Friendship Society in Mizoram, said the EDURUSSIA has been entrusted with undertaking educational concerns for study of various technical courses besides MBBS in Russian universities.
Moreover, the Russian-Asian Centre for University Services (RACUS) has been authorised by various governments to carry out admissions in various medical universities under the Russian government, he stated.
Meanwhile, Mizoram branch of Indian Medical Association has asked the people to be cautious while applying for the offered courses in Russia.
However, education director Malsawma reassured that there is no need to panic as the initiatives were taken at the government level of both the countries.
India and Russia had declared the year 2008 as ‘Year of Russia in India’ and 2009 as the ‘Year of India in Russia’ to strengthen the existing bilateral ties.
Commenting on the bilateral initiatives, former Russian president Vladimir Putin had stated that ‘relations between India and Russia were not based on short term expectations and political conditions and holding the year of Russia in India and India in Russia would open new horizons for bilateral cooperation’.
In his address early this year, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh also said India and Russia were bound together by civilisational linkages and relation between the two countries was time tested and based on solid foundations.
