Narendra Modi Government initiates steps to establish Yale, Oxford, Stanford to open campuses in India
According to reports, the UGCs final draft will be presented to the parliament for its approval before becoming a law.

The Centre has taken charge to seek changes in the education sector of the country as the Narendra Modi Government has initiated steps in order to allow foreign universities to set up campuses and programs in India. The overhaul by the Centre to improve the South Asian Nation’s higher education can see universities such as Stanford, Oxford, Yale and others.
The University Grants Commission has announced a draft of a bill which seeks to accommodate the establishment and operation of foreign universities in the country. The UGC regulatory body has opened the legislation for public feedback for seeking changes. The legislation for accommodation and establishment of foreign universities in the country is the first time for India.
According to reports, the bill states that the local campus will have the authority to decide on the admission criteria for domestic students and foreign students, fee structure and scholarship. Whereas the Institution will have the autonomy to recruit faculty and staff for their campuses.
The Centre’s effort to seek an overhaul in the Indian education sector will enable and help the Indian students to get foreign qualification from ivy league universities at an affordable cost. The effort by the Centre will not only cater to Indian students, but also make India a global study destination for other countries.
According to reports, the UGCs final draft will be presented to the parliament for its approval before becoming a law.
Although, few foreign universities already have a partnership with the Indian universities which allows the students to study in India for a few semesters and then complete their qualification on the main campus abroad. The current move by the Narendra Modi Government will inspire the overseas establishments to set up camp in India as well.
A few major challenges that the move might kick off, includes the affordability aspect for the people in the country, as well as if affirmative actions will be taken into consideration for the admission process.
