PATNA: The faculty members and scholars of Patna University are likely to get an opportunity to visit US universities
under the academic exchange programme between India and the US. This
understanding was reached after a detailed discussion held between PU
academics and Fulbright Commission officials here on Tuesday.
Addressing a meeting of heads of post-graduate departments, principals of colleges and officials of PU, Fulbright Commission senior programme manager Sudarshan Dash highlighted the Fulbright fellowship opportunities for study, research and teaching in the US. He informed that Fulbright-Nehru fellowships, jointly funded by the governments of India and the US, are meant for students, researchers, faculty members and professionals of states like Bihar where the talents have lesser opportunities of interaction. He said that scholars and faculty members from US would also like to visit PU.

Earlier, Dash visited NIT Patna on Monday to deliver an information lecture and have an interactive session with the faculty members there. He apprised the students and faculty members of various educational opportunities available for them in the US.
Dash was welcomed by Sanjeev Sinha of civil engineering department. NIT's academic dean U S Triar, research and development dean Sudarshan Singh, registrar Vidyasagar and other faculty members of the institute participated in the interactive session.
