NEW DELHI: A delegation from the Centre for Narendra Modi Studies (CNMS – NaMo Kendra) met Dr. (Mrs) Pankaj Mittal, Secretary General of the Association of Indian Universities (AIU), to discuss academic collaboration, research engagement, and the role of universities in nation-building.
During the meeting, the CNMS team shared details of its ongoing initiatives, including its recent and upcoming publications, research projects, and academic dialogues focused on policy, leadership, and national development.

Prof. Jasim Mohammad, Chairman of CNMS, stated, “The Centre for Narendra Modi Studies is working with the vision of ‘Nation First,’ and we are committed to promoting academic research and policy thinking that supports "Rashtranirman" and "Viksit Bharat". Our interaction with AIU was both meaningful and forward-looking.”
He further added, “We believe that collaboration between CNMS and AIU can create impactful academic opportunities—whether through joint seminars, research fellowships, or curriculum-based studies that engage youth and universities in the process of national development.”
