Thiruvananthapuram: Britain is keen to forge ties
with the city-based Asian School of Business (ASB) for conducting
collaborative studies in areas like climate change, agriculture
and energy, director of the premier B-school said Thursday.
The proposal for tie-ups between British universities and the ASB
came up for discussion during a meeting between British Deputy
High Commissioner in Chennai Mike Nithavrianakis and ASB director
S. Rajeev here Wednesday.
"The British Deputy High Commissioner visited the ASB campus and
talked about introducing us to British universities which have
specific competencies relevant for the ongoing 'Emerging Kerala'
campaign," Rajeev said in a statement.
Britain is also keen to increase the engagement of its
universities and companies with India and is looking for
collaborations and tie-ups, he added.
"Britain has shown interest in bringing its students to India for
working in specific competencies which are in tune with the
objectives and initiatives of the 'Emerging Kerala' branding
campaign, such as infrastructure, healthcare and ICT," said
Rajeev, who is an alumnus of IIT-Madras and the Stanford Business
School.
During the meeting, the UK official showed interest in agriculture
and rural areas and mentioned the research work being carried out
by British Universities in the area of climate change and its
impact on agriculture.
The ASB has already forged a string of tie-ups with some top-notch
universities like the Kansas University in the US and Instytut
Organizacji i Zarzadzania W Przemysle (ORGMASZ) of Warsaw
(Poland).
"We are keen to explore potential tie-ups. A tie-up with some
major British university will be a testimony to the high degree of
academic excellence of ASB," said G. Vijayaraghavan, member
secretary, ASB Board of Governors, and member, Kerala State
Planning Board.
