Question

Q.1. Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow:

India was once considered the land of knowledge and enlightenment. In ancient times scholars from all over
Asia and Europe used to flock to Takshshila, Nalanda and other Indian centers of learning. Apart from arts,
culture, philosophy and religion, these scholars came to study medicine, law and martial sciences. 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
counseling services and recruitment fairs with the active cooperation of their diplomatic mission abroad.
Likewise, India should also capitalize on the advantages offered by its higher education institutions, market
Indian universities abroad and facilitate the entry of foreign students into them.
