"Six vice-chancellors from our region would visit some universities of neighbouring Bangladesh and interact with the teachers and students, see their infrastructures and explore the possibilities of exchange programme with those universities," Vice-Chancellor of Tripura Central University, Arunoday Saha told PTI.

However, he said that a few VCs from Bangladesh would visit the north eastern states soon and then the VCs from the region would go there.
