Some of the students who graduated in master’s programmes, have stayed in India since late 1997. One of the graduands, Emmanuel Patrick Kintu (MBA Finance), told The New Vision that there are now more students flocking Indian universities to pursue higher education.
Speaking about the function, Kintu said, “speeches were given by the leaders of Ugandan and Kenyan communities. They elaborated the problems faced by the African (Ugandan) students in Indian Universities.â€
