IIT Roorkee is among the top institutes, like JNU and JMI, that have recently canceled their MoUs. Today, the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Roorkee announced the cancellation of its Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Inonu University in Turkey. This agreement was meant to facilitate academic and research collaborations, including exchanges of students and faculty between the two institutions.
Earlier this week, after JNU made its move, Jamia Millia Islamia also decided to suspend all academic partnerships with institutions linked to the Turkish government. These actions signal a coordinated shift in how Indian higher education institutions are approaching international collaborations, especially with organizations associated with Turkey. hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg Roorkee hg
In an official statement, IIT Roorkee highlighted that its international partnerships will continue to be shaped by “national interest” and strategic academic alignment. hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg Roorkee Roorkee
The institute also pointed out that while it is dedicated to promoting global research collaborations, these partnerships need to align with India’s broader goals in research and innovation. This cancellation is part of a larger trend among Indian institutions that are reevaluating their international academic connections in light of increasing national security concerns. hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg g hg hg hg hg hg
Additionally, Lovely Professional University (LPU) has also ended all its Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) with institutions in Türkiye and Azerbaijan. The private university based in Punjab has formally terminated six academic collaborations, citing recent geopolitical developments that it views as contrary to India’s national interest. hg hg hg hghg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg
This move follows similar decisions made by other notable Indian universities. Earlier this week, Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) suspended its MoU with Inonu University, referencing national security considerations. The MoU, which was signed in February for a three-year duration, aimed to promote cultural research and student exchanges. hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg
