Largest Chinese University extends Exchange Programme to Era Business School

In a move sure to strengthen academic and cultural ties, Schiuan University in the People's Republic of China and Era Business School (EBS) of Delhi have established an extensive exchange program.

Delegates from Schiuan University, one of the largest universities in China with about 70,000 students, visited the Era Business School campus to formalize a collaborative partnership between two institutions.

The Schiuan University delegation, led by Professor Shi Jian, vice-president and Tang Xuehong director, international office, were accompanied by officials from the embassy of the People's Republic of China, Delhi for the meeting with Era Business School.

As part of an extensive collaboration, EBS and Schiuan University plan to work together in the areas of collaborative research, faculty development, student mobility and exchange, cultural awareness, and participation in publication, seminars, conferences and lectures.

It's the latest development in what has been a strong association between Era Business School and the People's Republic of China embassy in New Delhi.

Era Business School has had strong association with the Embassy of PRC, New Delhi. EBS, in association with the Embassy of PRC, organized Indo-China Friendship Day, commemorating 50 years of diplomatic relations between the world's most populated nations. The PRC Embassy, Delhi, invited EBS students
for an exclusive interactive programme, graced by Indian Prime Minister - Manmohan Singh and Chinese Premier - Wen Jiabao. On invitation from the Chinese University of Hong Kong, EBS students also visited China & Hong Kong to experience the cultural & business environment of China, while polishing their Chinese Mandarin skills, with the native speakers.

At the recent meeting to formalize the new collaborative agreement, Professor (Dr.) Shi Jian, vice-president of Schiuan University, extended an invitation to Era Business School students and faculty members to participate in the exchange program, and cited the positive experience of German students, most of who are working with industry in People's Republic of China.

Director of Era Business School, Prof. (Dr.) Sanjiv Marwah said China is India's largest trading partner, however a trust deficit and lack of cultural knowledge between the two great nations exists.

Hopefully, Prof. Marwah said, this program will strengthen the academic links between India and China, and lay a strong foundation for a very exciting and productive future.

Ms Rashmi Bharana, General Secretary, said she appreciated the visit of Prof. Jian and mentioned she had been the beneficiary of an international program herself. She assured the delegation this visit will lead to formal dialogue in future in the interest of both Indian and Chinese students.
