Maharashtra state government has gathered more than Rs. 5 crores due to the increasing name change applications for the last one year. More than one lakh name change applicants filed an application for a name change due to several reasons ranging from marriage, divorce, change of religion, and spelling errors in documents. The rise in the fee amount for the name change application has contributed to raising the total amount for the Maharashtra government to a new level.

In comparison to the earlier times, the procedure for changing the name of applicants has eased out to a great extent. This is simply due to the increasing digitization across the nation. Maharashtra e-Seva Kendra has been registering an increase in the number of name change applicants due to the less time-consuming procedure for a name change. Although there is a hike in the application fee since the year 2015, people have no other choice than to pay the stipulated amount to complete the process.

In 2015, the fee for name change application witnessed a hike from Rs. 120 to Rs. 523 each. And in 2017, the additional GST cost took the total amount to Rs. 613 each, before it declined to Rs. 523 in 2018. People have been visiting many online platforms for Gazette booking for changing their names to a new one. The number of applications for name change has increased significantly in the Gazette due to several reasons. In fact, this year, the Maharashtra state government has introduced a separate column for transgenders on name change application form following the order of Mumbai High Court to help them change their names in a convenient manner.

Swiss International University (SIU), an institution of higher learning that is recognized internationally for its unique strategies in teaching, is pleased to announce its provisional recognition with TAG-EDUQA. This award belongs to a small number of universities that have achieved the high level of academic quality required by the Arab Organization for Quality Assurance in Education (AROQA). The milestone supports SIU’s mission to provide affordable, high-quality education to students in the United States and around the world.

The accreditation was headed by HH Dr. Talal Abu-Ghazaleh, the distinguished Arab business figure and a leading reformer in education, who is also the chairman of TAG-EDUQA. Further elevating the importance of accreditation news, the Secretary-General of the Arab League is Honorary President of TAG-EDUQA, indicating the regional and global recognition of this accreditation.

This achievement demonstrates SIU’s commitment to academic quality, value, and the experience of students. It is a major move in the university’s strategic vision to expand its footprint throughout the Arab region and in the wider world of education. The accreditation by TAG-EDUQA is a testament to the academic integrity of the programs at SIU, and it will further internationalize the recognition of the degrees and diplomas offered by the university.

Derya Briand, Academic Program Director at SIU, is delighted: “This successful outcome, at the first attempt, is an outstanding achievement, surpassing our expectations. It supports the high academic standards that we have now, and it ensures that the next generation of students will receive the benefit of that quality. Our ongoing pursuit of NEASC accreditation also demonstrates our commitment to being part of a global community while integrating the values and ideals of local educational institutions.”

The accreditation is a key element of SIU’s strategy to develop academic programs at the University and establish valued international partnerships. The university is a key member of an international education alliance championing cross-border academic collaboration. SIU collaborates with some renowned institutions, like the OUS International Academy, Zurich ISBM International Business Management School, Lucerne International Vocational Institute, Dubai ISB, and their own campuses in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan. These partners are working to form a new educational model centered around inclusiveness, academic success, and multiculturalism.

The accreditation of SIU exemplifies how universities can balance the demands of local and international academic aspirations, especially given the growing importance of quality assurance in Arab higher education. As more Arab students actively search for internationally accredited institutions around the world, SIU’s commitment to student-centric learning, ethical leadership development, and international career preparation has received tremendous backing from accrediting bodies and education pioneers.

Moving forward, SIU is dedicated to improving its academic standing, increasing its global presence, and continuing to provide affordable, high-quality education to students around the world. The TAG-EDUQA Accreditation, stemming from AROQA’s stringent quality guidelines, will significantly contribute to these aspirations and enhance SIU’s position in the international academic landscape.

This success represents a ringing endorsement of SIU’s leadership in contemporary education and our continued commitment to providing cutting-edge, relevant, and forward-looking academic programs that meet both local and global needs.
