An interactive meeting between delegates of Kunming Medical University China and students along with their parents was conducted at Niathu Resort, Dimapur on Friday. Organized by the Chinese Institute of Language & Arts and China Study Centre Dimapur, the meeting was a unique opportunity for students and their parents to understand the system of education of a Chinese medical university. Viewing that many students and parents are clueless about applying for medical university, Dr. John Murry, Patron of Chinese Institute Dimapur, said the meeting was a step on the institute’s behalf to clear their doubts. The delegation from Kunming Medical University comprised of Liu Hong, Director, Division of International Exchange & Cooperation, Sun Jun, Dean of Basic Medical School, Xu Xinagfeng, International Program officer along with Gautam Mitra from The School of Chinese Language Kolkata. During the two and a half hour long meeting, various topics were discussed. It included living conditions for students in Yunnan China, freedom to practice own religion, facilities for students, academic standard of the university, scholarships for students, MCI rules and regulations, how to apply to the university. Jenny Haining Murry, director of Chinese Institute of Language and Arts Dimapur Chinese language classes were conducted for students interested in applying to the university and said, that though MBBS course was conducted in English, students needed to know Chinese language to live their day to day life in China. Kunming Medical University has authorized the Chinese Institute of Language and Arts Dimapur to recruit eligible students to the university. This will help students to get first hand information about the university by visiting the Institute and it will also be easy for students to apply to the university. To help students fasten their application procedure, the university has decided to accept applications of eligible students who are still applying for their passports. Parliamentary Secretary for CAWD, Torechu was also one of the parents who attended the discussions. While presenting Naga shawls to the delegation, Torechu appreciated the Dimapur Chinese Institute’s initiative for organizing an informative seminar and meeting.
