Srinagar, Apr 18: Kashmir University’s Directorate of Lifelong Learning has been organizing special exposure visits and internship for the students enrolled in its different community development programmes in collaboration with the Department of Industries and Commerce.
 As part of the exercise, a group of students were seen off by the KU Registrar, Prof S Fayyaz Ahmad, and Dean, Academic Affairs, Prof A R Yousuf on Sunday.
 The participants will be visiting different industrial estates in the state to have a first hand experience of the work carried out there.
 Speaking on the occasion, Prof Yousuf said, “Besides theory, it is important that we impart practical training among the students in their concerned field. And I think such visits should be promoted so that the students get knowledge about the industries.”
