Through this invaluable association, our students will not only benefit from the latest knowledge, techniques, and skills but will also be exposed to a diverse range of perspectives and ideas. We are delighted to have hosted the esteemed delegation from Virginia Tech and look forward to strengthening our association with them in the years to come\u201d<\/em><\/h5>\nDr. Cyril Clark, Executive Vice President and Provost, Virginia Tech,<\/strong> commented, \u201cIt is a pleasure and privilege to be in India again. This is my third visit to India, but I feel like I have been learning about India for the last 40 years or so, because of the relationships and collaborations that I\u2019ve had in mentoring Indian students as well as working with Indian colleagues. Virginia Tech is one of 50 land-grant universities. Land-grant institutions were established in the United States to advance the mechanical and agricultural arms and to also provide liberal and practical education. Land-grant universities are characterised not only by their history but also by what\u2019s called a tripartite mission. This includes three basic missions: to educate the population, to conduct impactful research and discovery, and then to take the outcome of their education and research and transfer it to the betterment of society\u201d. <\/em><\/h5>\n<\/h5>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

Dr. Ramesh Bhat <\/strong>commented, \u201cThe partnership between NMIMS and Virginia Tech reiterates our commitment to fostering an ecosystem that promotes knowledge sharing, research, and innovation. Through this invaluable association, our students will not only benefit from the latest knowledge, techniques, and skills but will also be exposed to a diverse range of perspectives and ideas. We are delighted to have hosted the esteemed delegation from Virginia Tech and look forward to strengthening our association with them in the years to come\u201d<\/em><\/h5>\nDr. Cyril Clark, Executive Vice President and Provost, Virginia Tech,<\/strong> commented, \u201cIt is a pleasure and privilege to be in India again. This is my third visit to India, but I feel like I have been learning about India for the last 40 years or so, because of the relationships and collaborations that I\u2019ve had in mentoring Indian students as well as working with Indian colleagues. Virginia Tech is one of 50 land-grant universities. Land-grant institutions were established in the United States to advance the mechanical and agricultural arms and to also provide liberal and practical education. Land-grant universities are characterised not only by their history but also by what\u2019s called a tripartite mission. This includes three basic missions: to educate the population, to conduct impactful research and discovery, and then to take the outcome of their education and research and transfer it to the betterment of society\u201d. <\/em><\/h5>\n<\/h5>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
