I still remember, few years back when I have to apply to the Colleges, I was clueless about the most of the colleges and their procedure to apply. I was very excited and secured quite good marks in my 12th board but still the lack of knowledge made me to get admission to a less reputed college, though later I got migrated to one of the best college in India.
Thanks to technology now things ahve completely changed. Education in India is moving to new heights with every passing year and along with this progress there is a vast development in the establishment of educational institutions, colleges and universities. Knowing about all such colleges and universities appears to be a tricky matter for many, but with the development of internet and online portals, the information related to education are broadly distributed over the World Wide Web. www.Admission.org is one such website which enables students to choose the right college over thousands of college available.
70% young
population is already global as he is on Facebook talking to people from around
the world, watching videos on Youtube from different countries, visiting and
learning about various cultures and markets. Why aren't we able to put our
minds, body and system with our visionary Prime Minister who understands the
importance of "Internationalization". There are huge benefits of
building "Study in India" and to take a case in point lets look at US
and the value the immigrants have added:
"More than 40
percent of Fortune 500 companies were founded by immigrants or a child of
immigrants. According to the Partnership for a New American Economy these companies employ more than 10 million people
worldwide and generate annual revenue of $4.2 trillion"
India is young, energetic and cheerful for the new age of
digital disruption. We see a lot of initiatives around Digital India, Make in
India and Start up India. It is time for India to stand and understand that all
of these will be possible when our campuses are truly becoming feed for those
success stories.
Make in India that demonstrates the Indian Government vision to
make India new manufacturing capital will require efforts from the Higher
education sector and the HRD ministry. How will a company from Japan , Korea or
any other place in the world feel comfortable if they don't have any talent
from their own country present. How will they hire managers who come from the
same background, culture and working ethos, which are very different in each of
the respective countries. How will they integrate their research and
development needs if the campuses just have one-dimensional approach to
teaching and learning of the students.
Technology solves some of the biggest problem globally. The
reason US is able to truly build technology and solutions for global population
is because of its strong immigrant population. It nurtures and learns from them
the traits and beliefs of each market while scaling their solution to fit each
market. It innovates in each market with its offering based on the intelligence
and experience shared by these young Indian who travel to US for their higher
education. We not only send our brightest minds but also our value beliefs and
learning about our country which are the most important assets for them. And if
they are bright they are incentivized to stay back and start their own
companies.
When will India truly have global products ? While building
"Start Up India campaign we would need our young minds to learn and build
networks with people from across the world. If we can have our campuses which
are diverse and global we would be able to train the young students around
different perspectives, lifestyles, behaviors and mental models which are very
varied as we start traveling to different countries. To have that knowledge
& experience will be the biggest differentiating factor in the 21st century
for young people of our country. It is truly a moment in history for India to
capture this time and start working on building frameworks to attract foreign
students and minds to come and be a part of our learning community. We need the
Center as well as State Government to allow more freedom to its institute to
build innovative campaign to attract more of these minds to solve some of the
biggest problems facing this country.
It is the best moment under the leadership of a champion Prime
minister Mr Narendra Modi who understand the value and benefits of
globalization. Here are the steps which we would recommend National Policy Makers to be
taking:
1) Make student visa policies simple, transparent and
consistent.
2) Create an ecosystem of building cultural sensitivity for
international students in student towns.
3) Build policies to encourage post study work options along
with a strong push to entrepreneurial visa category.
4) Embark on a outreach plan to make international students as
ambassadors of the country
5) Provide a platform to have dialogue around further
improvement in building right ecosystem and awareness for foreign nationals
living in India
6) Create strong scholarship program that will encourage the
best brain to choose India as their study options.
Our Suggested State
Policy Framework:
1) Encourage twining programs between the state universities and
international university to build better brand awareness.
2) Build a outreach plan as a state to encourage mobility and
credit transfers between the universities.
3) Create good and quality housing for the students.
4) Be an enabler and encourage more foreign universities to set
up satellite campuses.
For Universities it is this enabling environment which will help
them prosper. They would need to concentrate on the outreach and brand building
exercise to increase the diversity. We are in middle of a "Revolution”
from the consumers "Students" on our campuses who want to learn in a
global campus and with the right framework we would be able to achieve a goal
of getting 100000 foreign students to India by 2020.
