In line with the vision to support innovation in education, Nikai Group sponsored an award at the annual convention of Higher Colleges of Technology (HCT) again this year. Nikai Group, a leading global conglomerate with diversified business interests across various sectors, has been associated with the awards for the best faculty and best student categories.
The Nikai-sponsored awards were handed over in the ‘Best Faculty’ category at the Madinat Jumeirah in Dubai earlier this week. The HCT convention was held under the patronage and presence of His Excellency Sheikh Nahyan Bin Mubarak Al Nahyan, UAE Minister of Higher Education and Scientific Research and the Chancellor of HCT.
The Best Faculty Award was conferred upon Dubai Men’s College and included a cash cheque, an LCD television and a certificate.
Paras Shahdadpuri, Chairman of Nikai Group of Companies, says: “We are privileged to sponsor two categories in the HCT Awards, It is a respected award which recognizes excellence in the education field across various colleges in the UAE. We are thankful to H.E. Sheikh Nahyan Bin Mubarak Al Nahyan for giving us this wonderful opportunity to be associated with this award and support this noble initiative. Nikai has always supported innovation and this sponsorship is part of our gesture towards expressing our gratitude towards the Arab community.”
He added, “Our partnership with HCT is aimed at playing a pivotal role in enlightening, educating and motivating the students, faculty and professionals across the HCT colleges.”
