Solan, July 15: Bahra University and Government PG College Solan have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to strengthen academic collaboration through student exchange, faculty interaction, research initiatives, skill development programmes and career-oriented activities.
As part of the collaboration, final-year science students from Government PG College Solan visited the Waknaghat campus for a one-day academic exposure programme aimed at providing hands-on experience in higher education, research and innovation.
During the visit, students toured the university’s laboratories, research facilities, innovation centres and academic departments. They also attended career guidance sessions, interacted with faculty members and gained insights into emerging technologies, scientific research and industry-oriented learning. The programme was designed to bridge the gap between classroom education and practical applications while encouraging students to explore higher education opportunities.
Vice-Chancellor Prof. R. P. Nainta said partnerships between universities and government colleges play a key role in promoting holistic student development. He said Bahra University remains committed to building institutional collaborations that provide students with practical exposure and academic excellence.
Registrar Vineet Kumar (Ex-IFS) said the university regularly partners with government colleges across Himachal Pradesh through laboratory demonstrations, exposure visits, faculty interactions, workshops, career counselling sessions and academic exchange programmes. Such initiatives, he added, help students build confidence, strengthen practical knowledge and prepare for future careers.
Government PG College Solan Principal Prof. Maneesha Kohli appreciated the university’s efforts in providing meaningful academic exposure to students. She said such programmes broaden students’ perspectives and motivate them to pursue higher education, research and innovation.
Dr. Vikas Guleria and Director Student Welfare Anurag Avasthi also interacted with the students, encouraging them to make the most of collaborative academic opportunities.
The university said it has signed similar MoUs with several government colleges across Himachal Pradesh and continues to organise educational visits, expert lectures, innovation sessions and career guidance programmes as part of its outreach efforts to strengthen higher education through experiential learning and industry-academia collaboration.
