Prime Minister Narendra Modi has made a big announcement to give new heights to higher education in India. He said that five prestigious universities of the United Kingdom (UK) will soon open their campus in India. This step will not only give Indian students a chance to study international level, but will also get rid of the cost and mess of going abroad. This announcement was made by PM Modi recently during the signing of the Free Trade Agreement (FTA) between India and the UK. Through this agreement, cooperation in the field of trade, investment and education between the two countries will be strong.
PM Modi said that now Indian students will not have to go to UK for studies. In the country itself, they will get the same level of education that institutions such as Oxford, Cambridge or London School of Economics. Also, this initiative is an important attempt to bring education in India to the global standards.
Employment will also increase in the country
The arrival of these universities will not only revolutionize the field of education in India, but will also open new employment opportunities. Education professionals, researchers, administrative staff and technical teams will get work. This will also strengthen the country’s economy.
Recognition will be available without changing the course
The most important thing will be that these courses operated in India will get international recognition. That is, students taking degrees from Indian complexes will get the same status abroad as to those who study there.
A big step towards change in education sector
Prime Minister Modi also said that his government aims to make India a global center of education. Under this, the new education policy (NEP) has allowed foreign universities to open campus in India.
