Press Trust of India | New Delhi
The South Asian University here commemorated the 34th SAARC Charter Day Friday and thanked the partner countries for their contribution to the collaborative effort.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi said in a message that as a founding member of SAARC, India was committed to strengthening regional cooperation and integration. "Our initiatives in recent years, such as the launch of South Asia Satellite, extension of India's National Knowledge Network to South Asian countries and ever continued support to the South Asian University and the SAARC Disaster Management Centre (Interim Unit) are geared towards promoting people-to-people contacts and connectivity in the region," he said.
The occasion marks the day the regional body came into being after the member states signed a charter in 1985. "The university has been continuing its efforts to engage in more international collaborations and also with atleast one institution of higher learning in each SAARC country as is evident from the MoUs with 17 universities, institutes till now, including some from beyond the SAARC region," said Kavita Sharma, President, South Asian University. Sharma also said the first phase of construction of the university's permanent campus at Maidangarhi was expected to be completed by early 2019.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Probably, it is near diplomatic enclave in New Delhi as I saw a few embassies of European countries on the map.
Moreover, Name Akbar reminds me of sulh-e-kul (peace for all) policy of Mughal emperor and his love to discuss and learn from other experiences.
I think that organisational behaviour of this institute will reflect a change from its surroundings because of the fact it represents the more than one nationality ( viz 8 SAARC COUNTRIES ) and their govts. contribute from the hard-earned money of their respective tax-payers.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Because of their delayed response and poor management on the semester classes, our afgan brothers are facing serious life threatening issues.
Still they are not at all for helping but rather giving deadlines.
What can a management like that teach you if they themselves cannot take a stand when required.
Shame

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Its a so called international university with poor facilities. The administration is too bad to explain. In every 3-4 months students have to protest against university's various inhuman, impractical, arbitrary decisions and measures. Internally its a corrupt institution. There is no accountability in this university. Though faculties are good to some extent, however due to internal conflict among faculty members students do not get expected outcome from them. Teachers try to create groups among the students and evaluate them accordingly i.e. they do not evaluate in the exam based on performance but based on who oils them sufficiently. The high officials and teachers are highly paid (3500-8000$) here and students get insufficient scholarship. For example till September 2016, PhD student were receiving rs 10000/- and some masters students were receiving (rs 3000-7000) in different categories. Now though PhD students are getting 25000 as a result of massive protest in 2016 to increase scholarships, however, yet it is not equivalent to India JRF/SRF. During this Covid-19 pandemic SAU authority showed its incompetence, during the first wave several times they forced students to vacate the hostel where mostly foreign students resides. This attitude of admin continued in this second wave of Pandemic. Finally, though this University has the potential to be a good institution, however if it runs in the same way it is now, in near future it will collapse. As funding of this university is coming from 8 south asian countries, these countries need to be strict to the admin and make them accountable. The power that the registrar exercise in this university should be curtailed. Indian all internal politics (right/middle/left) should be banned within the campus and if found anyone involved must be kicked out of the university.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ South Asian University is indeed a wonderful campus. It have amazing buildings with great infrastructures. Receptionist were very friendly and helpful. Parking lot was really nice with large spaces. There were two separate facilities one being the university itself and the other one is for South Asian community. Located in the heart of Delhi's municipal spot can make anyone comfort especially if they are new to the campus. Great ambience and non working staff humbleness can make feel welcomed to have assistance from them. The serenity of its surrounding environment is something that might remind you of those great institutions with mind blowing offerings.
