00:00In Aligarh Muslim University, the number of foreign students is continuously decreasing.
00:08Where in 2019-20 their number was 616, by 2023-24 their number was only 178.
00:21In the last few days, the university administration has given notice to two Bangladeshi former students and one current student.
00:30Now Iran-Iraq and Afghanistan students have held a meeting and issued an advisory for them.
00:39What is this advisory? What is the purpose of it?
00:43Let us know what the advisor of foreign students Ali Nawaz Zaidi said about it.
00:49Basically, our students are foreign students.
00:54Their welfare is our prime priority.
00:58That is why we hold meetings with them.
01:02In the last two days, we had a meeting with Bangladeshi students.
01:05In the next group routine, we invited students from three countries and had an interaction with them.
01:12We advised them to be careful about their social media and to avoid cyber fraud.
01:22We also advised them to fulfill their visa requirements on time.
01:29We also advised them to be well-informed about their movement.
01:33We told them that wherever they go, they should let us know.
01:36There is no such restriction.
01:38But if you inform us, you can avoid any hardship.
01:44This is what we told them and sensitized them.
01:48We have a representation of 26 countries.
01:53We have a representation of 26 countries.
01:56We have around 170 students here.
02:00Dr. Murad, a member of the executive council of the ANU, said that
02:05there is a lot of concern about the number of foreign students in Aligarh Muslim University.
02:12I think it is true that in the last few years,
02:16the number of international students has decreased.
02:20People from all over the world have come here to take admission in different courses.
02:25I think there are many reasons for this.
02:28But I would like to say that most of the people who go to the advisory,
02:35they talk about the safety and security of the university.
02:43At the same time, I believe that the students and all the stakeholders of the university
02:49should have a sense of freedom.
02:51The university is not a school.
02:53People from the university can move anywhere.
02:57But it is important to have a positive sense of freedom.
03:02At the same time, all the stakeholders, students, teachers, employees
03:08should have a sense of freedom to write, study, speak,
03:11as long as it is done in a democratic and peaceful manner.
03:15I believe that this applies to foreign students as well.
03:19So far, there has been no comment from Iran, Iraq and Afghanistan students
03:25regarding this advisory.
03:31But the question arises, can this kind of advisory increase the number of foreign students?
