The network of colleges and universities have aided India to become an attractive education hub for international students. The same richness of Indian higher education needed due focus and led to the birth of the idea of the Study in India programme.
The existence and significance of knowledge can be traced in the core beliefs of Indian culture and various religious textbooks. The process of imparting education has evolved from the traditional Gurukul system to the modern-day system. However, in all these years India has continued to be the centre of knowledge. Today, higher education institutions are known to provide global standard learning. This is what makes India a leading education hub and the Study in India programme aims to popularize the same notion among students all around the world.
