India was once considered the land of knowledge and enlightenment. In ancient times
scholars from all over Asia and Europe used to flock to Taxila, Nalanda and other
Indian centres of learning. Apart from the art, culture, philosophy and religion, these
scholars came to study medicine, law and martial art. But despite having a vastly
expanded university system and historical advantages, modern India has yet to provide
international or even regional leadership in higher education. From the surrounding
countries of Asia and Africa, only a few students come to India for higher education.
The United States is by far the most successful country in attracting foreign students.
But other countries such as Australia, Canada and Britain also aggressively market
their universities abroad through their education counselling services and
recruitment fairs with the active cooperation of their diplomatic missions abroad.
Likewise, India should also capitalise on the advantages offered by its higher
educational institutions, Market Indian universities abroad and facilitate the entry of
foreign students into them.
The revenue from foreign students can be used to ease the financial crunch faced by
Indian universities, improve academic facilities and subsidise the cost of educating
Indian students.
