NID Ends Bangladesh Institute Collaboration Due to 'National Sentiment'
Imagine two schools working together.
One school, NID in India, decided to stop working with a school in Bangladesh.
They said they did this because of how they feel about their country and what's important to them.
The schools used to do projects together, especially in photography.
This decision came after some disagreements between India and Bangladesh about trade.
Some other schools in India have also stopped working with countries that have sided against India in the past.
NID terminated its collaboration with Pathshala South Asian Media Institute in Dhaka.
The decision was based on 'national priorities' and sentiment.
The agreement included collaborative academic activities.
The agreement was originally initiated in 2015 and renewed in 2023.
The move follows strained India-Bangladesh trade relations.
