Al-Taqwa University and GD Goenka University in India, signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on March 24, 2022, to enhance the international engagement and capabilities of both Universities. The primary purpose of this MoU is to facilitate the initiation of collaborations between Al-Taqwa University and GD Goenka University, to support research, review and measure data for the work performed, develop and exchange best practices, capacity building, and other forms of academic partnerships to tackle the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs) particularly SDG 4: Quality Education.  

Both Universities can benefit from this MoU to increase the academic and research footprints on regional and global issues facing the UN SDGs. Also, our faculty and students can collaborate on research with international peers that can ultimately prepare them to contribute to their economies. There is always room for universities to adopt global best practices, so both institutions can mutually contribute to programs, contents, and processes. “Signing such MoUs with universities in other parts of the world and putting them into action can contribute an excellent deal for internationalization and enhance the efforts towards achieving UN SDGs," said Dr. Sayed Abdul Moiz, Al-Taqwa University's Dean for the Faculty of Economics.

Based on this MoU, Al-Taqwa University and GD Goenka University will review the progress of work under each program and collaborate in research, capacity building, and academic partnerships. "Working with the universities abroad will help us strengthen our international affairs and work on strategic partnerships that clearly show our genuine efforts towards internationalization," said Dr. Abdul Hameed Seerat, Al-Taqwa University's Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs.

The Office of International Affairs & Strategic Partnerships at Al-Taqwa University is headed by a team of dedicated academic leaders advised by the Chancellor. Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs and the deans representing each of the University's faculties plus other key academic units are behind the functions of this office.
