Taiwan students visit Amity University to showcase culture

A team of youth ambassadors, all college students from Taiwan, visited Amity University as part of the cultural exchange programme. Initiated by Taiwan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) in 2009, the programme was aimed at enhancing the mutual understanding, strengthening cultural exchanges between India and Taiwan.

"Amity has always maintained cordial relations with Taiwan and has been running the Taiwan Education Centre (TEC) since June 2012," said Amity University vice chancellor Dr. B Shukla.

Minister of Taipei Economic and Cultural Center in India (TECCI) Frances Lee expressed her heartfelt gratitude and appreciated the university for being supportive and hosting the youth ambassadors. TECCI Ambassador Tien Chung- Kwang was also present during the occasion.

"Taiwan, just like India, is a democratic country with traditional civilization dating back to 5000 years. Taiwan has been absorbing the essence of other Asian civilizations, as a result of which both contemporary and traditional features co-exist in Taiwanese culture. In Taiwan there are over 600 Indian students pursuing their higher studies but there are very few Taiwanese students studying in India. I hope that in future there will be more student exchanges between India and Taiwan, enhancing the mutual love and understanding between both the countries," said Lee.

Amity University launches India's first online paralegal programme

Signalling a paradigm shift in the process of learning, Amity University and Indian Academy of Law and Management (IALM) have inked an MoU to jointly introduce a course on professional paralegal certification for the first time in India".

The Amity-IALM course will systematically and professionally help corporate departments such as legal, finance, human resource, insurance, real estate, PR and Media, intellectual property, government affairs and compliance," said Major General (retired) Nilendra Kumar of the Amity Law School in Noida.

A paralegal expert understands, strategizes and executes modern day corporate functions and understands the business as well as the "right" way to do the business legally.

"While lawyers are always good at drafting policies and meeting escalations, the management and execution of policies are left to Paralegals in any organizational function," said Dr.Pinaki Ghosh, Associate Vice President-IP, Reliance Industries.

While western countries and developed economies already have organized institutions, certifications and well defined career paths for paralegals, India always lacked such an educational stream with highly lucrative career paths.

India with its huge educated youth population needs to nurture and provide alternative income streams and recognition to its well deserved student community.

"Amity University's pioneering initiative of launching the Online course in Paralegal will enable the candidates to learn professional paralegal skills anytime, anywhere through interactive teaching and learning process. The program is fully online and digital, comprising interactive sessions from renowned legal exponents. The course offers 15 days guaranteed internship with leading law firms and interviews using IALM and partner law firms, post its completion" says Dr Manoj Sharma, Director, Amity University Online.

The current paralegal certification course is multifaceted and offers to train students in IT-tools and software management, litigation in courts, real estate transactions, intellectual property management, corporate contract handling, managing litigations, doing IPR filings, debt recovery categorization, E-Discovery, legal process outsourcing (LPOs), banking, finance and insurance-related process.

Amity University celebrates World Environment Day

In a bid to raise awareness about the protection of environment, Amity Institute of Environmental Toxicology, Safety and Management (AIETSM) and Amity Institute of Environmental Science (AIES) in association with National Environmental Science Academy (NESA) celebrated "World Environment Day" at the University Campus.

Welcoming the august gathering, Professor (Dr.) Tanu Jindal- Director, Amity Institute for Environmental Toxicology, Safety and Management thanked the guests for taking out time from their busy schedule and joining Amity in disseminating the importance of environment conservation on World Environment Day.
Dr. Jindal stressed that man has been recklessly undertaking the developmental activities at the cost of environment but the fall outs of disturbing the eco-system have started becoming prominent and manifested in climate change, erratic pattern of rainfall, global warming, raising sea-levels etc.

She opined that man needs to be prudent to discern the difference between a necessity and indulgence and act accordingly for the benefit of humanity.

Addressing the gathering, Dr. V.P. Upadhyay, Director, Ministry of Environment and Forest said that environment is important for everyone. Global warming is not a complex issue that cannot be dealt with.

Of all the harmful gasses present in the environment, Carbon Dioxide gas creates the maximum problem and it could be efficiently combated by planting more and more trees. He shared that a mature leafy tree produces as much oxygen in a season as 10 people inhale in a year. Trees have the potential to improve the micro- climate near the house and even reduce wind velocity.

He advised that the problem has to be handled globally rather than locally. He shared that the net built up of harmful Carbon in the environment globally could be taken care of by converting over 329 million hectare land into plantains globally.

He opined that sustainability concept has to be brought in Indian way of culture; small efforts at individual houses could bring big results. Ecological affluence is more important than economic affluence. It is important for ecosystem to be intact since, species once lost cannot be created by man made capital.

He said that it is important to raise the voice against environment degradation rather than raising the sea level.

Sharing his views, Prof. A. Arunachalam- General Secretary, National Environmental Science Academy (NESA) stressed that it is very important to take care of the environment since it has wide scale repercussions.

He shared that there are over 52 developing nation islands which are low lying and run the risk of submersing, if water level continues to rise in our water bodies due to melting of polar ice. He averred that climate change could be a real threat to the existence of a country/nation. Agriculture, as currently practiced in the country, is the chief cause of destruction of valuable habitats.

He stated that earth has enough resources to meet the needs of people but certainly not their greed.

During the occasion, Guests planted saplings spreading the message of bringing down the Carbon Dioxide levels through planting more and more trees.

The officials of Amity took a pledge on behalf of University to contribute towards sustainable development and taking lead in environmental education. The pledge outlined Amity's commitment to developing patents in green technology with GLP studies by faculty and students participation adopting green practices at Amity campuses, thereby leading to the well- being of the humanity.
