The vice-chancellor of Lucknow University, Alok Kumar Rai, interacted with the Afghan students studying in the university on Wednesday, in the wake of the ongoing crisis in Afghanistan. Asserting that the university will take all measures to support them, the V-C asked students to focus on their career during these troubled times.
“It is essential that you don’t lose focus of your careers and aim to excel in life. I know these are particularly difficult times to do so but I must urge all of you to take this as a challenge,” the V-C said to the Afghan students.
There are close to 60 students from Afghanistan who are currently enrolled in various courses at Lucknow University. Most of these students have family in Afghanistan. “In situations like these I would also suggest that you join the happy thinking lab of the university and use other facilities available here to keep yourself busy and in a positive mind set,” the V-C said.
Answering queries of students who will soon be completing their course at the university, the V-C suggested that such students must try to enrol in other courses at the university. He said that the university is in constant touch with ICCR (Indian Council for Cultural Relations) and Afghan Embassy. “If any Afghan student studying in the university has any problem, he can directly meet me and discuss his problem. I will advise you to maintain mental strength at this time. Be assured that the entire university family is with you in these difficult times,” the V-C said.
