Agartala, Mar 20: National Institute of Technology Agartala (NITA) and Composite Research Group, Durban University of Technology, South Africa (CRG) agreed to build cooperation by signing a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to promote academic, research and educational exchange between these institutions.

The MoU was signed by the Director of NITA Dr. H.K. Sharma and Dy. Vice Chancellor (Acting) of CRG Prof. Sibusiso Moyo.

The MoU is a form of mutual commitment in complimenting each other’s duties and function in the perspective of cooperation in educational and scientific research, and the development of exchange of students, graduates, and teaching professors.
