Their pictures were taken and circulated in local press and social media and this event was given name of international conference.

According to college authorities more than 2200 research papers from different institutions and scholars from across India were for the International Conference .The two-day conference organised by Amar Singh College the constituent college of Cluster University Srinagar in collaboration with the Conference World (A.R Research Publication.

Speaking on the occasion, researcher and expert on Information technology from Nigeria, Abu Bakar Abdullahi highlighted various aspects of present-day information technology. "Why this international conference didn't have academicians or people from prestigious institutions of our own country? Where in a conference 500 papers are presented in two days? There must be quality audit to check these aberrations otherwise our education system will be nothing but a joke" said Umar Farooq a student of Amar Singh College Srinagar. "Mere inviting a Nigerian national and his wife to college can't make a small meeting an international conference? If the visiting guest had wife with him, why was she asked to speak during a technical conference on an irrelevant topic of personal hygiene? I appeal to the authorities to hold an inquiry into April 2018 conference and it should be probed who had invited Nigerian national and what has been his academic background?" said a college teacher pleading anonymity.   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
