To attract more foreign students, the Jamia Millia Islamia (JMI) has been taking several measures with the university’s Vice-Chancellor (VC) Prof Najma Akhtar being “pro-active” in this regard, a varsity official said.

The VC has constituted a committee for the preparation of a brochure, which will highlight the achievements and facilities to be provided to the foreign students by the JMI.
