In its efforts to boost internalisation of higher education, the UGC has directed all universities to set up office for international affairs, in line with the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 and the Promotion of Indian Higher Education Abroad (PIHEA) committee that was set up in 2004, to promote India as a global study hub.
“UGC’s capacity building initiative to promote ‘Brand India’aims at encouraging internationalisation, keeping with NEP 2020,” says Bhushan Patwardhan, vice chairman, UGC, while talking to Education Times. “Though several Indian institutions have collaborations with foreign universities, an increase in internationalisation will increase the intensity of research,” he adds.
