‘South Australia safe for students'

KOCHI: Indian students have not experienced any problems in South Australia. The students faced problems in other parts of Australia, according to A.K. Tareen, Senior Trade Commissioner-India.

The State, on the south central part of Australia, is conducive for studies in many disciplines, including nanotechnology, management, engineering, medicine and information technology, he told The Hindu.

The senior South Australian official, who is on a tour to Tier-II cities to promote bilateral ties and trade, said there were many areas, which would be mutually beneficial. There were a few incidents in different parts of Australia in a span of about 8 months, he said, referring to the attacks on Indian students.

South Australia, with an Indian student population of about 7,000, was free from any such incidents.

The real reasons behind the incidents were being investigated.

South Australia has three reputed universities, including University of Adelaide, he said.
