Office of International Affairs to be set up in all campuses
Shifting focus to internationalisation of higher education in the State, the government has asked the Vice-Chancellors of universities to establish an Office of International Affairs in the respective campuses.
“The move is in line with the National Education Policy-2020, which lays emphasis on expanding the global outreach of the higher education institutions by promoting India as a study destination and intensive academic and research collaboration with the higher educational institutions in foreign countries,” says K. Hemachandra Reddy, Chairman of the Andhra Pradesh State Council of Higher Education (APSCHE).
Considering the importance of the issue, the University Grants Commission (UGC) has asked the universities to establish Office for International Affairs on their campuses.
