Courses to educate foreign students about India NEW DELHI: Five Indian universities have been selected to conduct short-term courses to help enable foreign students, mostly from the US, understand and appreciate contemporary India and help foster international relations.
University of Hyderabad, University of Calcutta, University of Mysore, Jawaharlal Nehru University and University of Delhi were selected as a part of the ‘Connect to India Programme’
The programme, in the form of summer schools, is likely to begin from the forthcoming academic session in June-July.
The courses will be related to economics and industrial development, science and technology, communication and information technology, Indian education, history, political processes, art and culture. Students will be taken to places of historical importance, participate in cultural programmes and learn yoga. “Until now we have heard of Indian students leaving to study abroad. But now, foreign students will come to India,” said Alka Sharma, registrar at the University of Delhi, who is the nodal officer for the programme.
