PAU ALUMNI MEET INDIAN PM MODI IN Oz, APPOINTED AS MAYOR IN UK, AWARDED FOR SOCIAL SERVICE
LUDHIANA, JUNE 22: An alumnus of Punjab Agricultural University (PAU) and a Counsellor in Sydney Dr Moninderjit Sandha met Shri Narendra Modi, Prime Minister of India, who was on a three-day visit to Australia to foster bilateral cooperation between the two nations through business enhancement and deepening of defence ties during May 22-24. Addressing the Indian diaspora which accounted for 3 per cent of the Oz population, the Prime Minister lauded the mutual ties in the field of health, education, climate action, disaster management, strategic technologies and reliable supply chain, stating that it has not grown through diplomacy, but because of Indians living in Australia who were the real strength.
Dr Sandha hailed the close interaction between the Indian Prime Minister and the dynamic diaspora. Meanwhile, Mr Dilbagh Singh Parmar, also a PAU alumnus, was elected as Mayor of Slough in the United Kingdom. He was congratulated by the UK MP for Slough Mr Tanmanjeet Singh Dhesi for this achievement.
Besides, a PAU alumna Dr Sunita Sidhu Dhindsa has earned a rare distinction by being the only Punjabi to be honoured with the “Award Order of Australia (OAM) for Social Service” which is equivalent to India’s Padma Shri. Dr Sunita, who holds Ph.D from PAU, moved to Australia with her family almost 30 years ago and retired as Director of the Ministry of Health of Central Government of Australia. She has held various positions in the highest institutions. She appealed to the new generation of Punjab to engage in social service as much as possible and stay away from drugs and weapons.
Dr Satbir Singh Gosal, Vice-Chancellor, PAU; senior officials and PAU Alumni Association, applauded the unfathomable achievements of the University alumni who have always striven to keep the flag of PAU high in the international arena.
