Indian dignitary in Moi university

Moi University is among six institutions set to benefit from a scholarship by the Indian government as was detailed by the country’s high commissioner.
Addressing invited guests and students at the institution during this year’s Festival of India in Kenya, Her Excellency Suchtra Durai noted the importance of the two countries coming together with the aim of improving education and technology.
“ Kenya and India have been partners in various aspects of developments in terms of economic growth and education being a major contributor to any country’s national growth, India will ensure that Moi as an institution of higher learning has improved learning conditions and structures,” she said.
The collaboration will see improvement of educational facilities specifically in the School of Engineering which has worn-out structures that does not commensurate to practical lessons students are supposed to acquire.
Welcoming the idea, Moi University Vice Chancellor Professor Laban Ayiro confirmed that staff members of the said school will have a chance to travel to India to learn more from their counterparts and thereafter incorporate what is a miss in the local education. He added that the University needed a clear direction as far as technology is concerned so that graduates from the institution are able to fit well in the global job market.
Also during the event the Managing Director of Rivatex urged the students to be taking their practical attachment under the firm in the process of improving in their skills. Rivatex is one of the textile industries that came to existence after the institution and India partnered together.
The ceremony that commenced with tree planting session also had book donations and cultural exchange. Performances were from India’s Alobo Naga & the Band, winners of MTV European award 2012 and Moi University Band.
