Hyderabad, January 29: British Deputy High Commissioner to Southern India Mike Nithavrianakis on Thursday stated that institutions in the United Kingdom were interested in tying up with world-class institutions in India, particularly in the south.
Education sector was most important in the growing India-UK ties as about 57 per cent of over one billion population of India was below 25 years of age.
Though a sizeable chunk of people India were still denied access to quality healthcare facilities, the country had been making rapid strides in all spheres.
The fact that India’s economy was the second fastest growing in the world ratified its growing stature. He mentioned that International School of Business based in Hyderabad was rated as one of the best business schools in Asia and there were many other such world-class institutions in the country, with which the UK-based institutions were interested in tie-ups.
He was here to participate in the academic evening organised on behalf of the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh (RCSE), which has been conducting five-day intercollegiate MRCS examinations here from January 25 for the second time.
Chief Examiner for MRCS examinations here and a Council Member of the RCSE Pradip K Datta spoke about the history of the college. Local Convenor of the examinations and Director of KIMS-Ushalakshmi Centre for Breast Diseases, P. Raghu Ram, Micheal Smith of RCSE and T. Subramanyeswara Rao of MNJ Cancer Centre also spoke on different fields in surgery.
