India’s Emergence as a Regional Education Hub

India’s rising academic leadership in the South Asian region is largely seen as a fallout of its Liberalisation Policy and the formation of numerous regional cooperation blocks/groups/associations. India has widened its presence in the region through various modes such that it is no longer identified as just a North-South recipient nation of earlier times. The time is ripe when India can further consolidate its position as a regional education hub by way of systematic strategic planning.

Ideological Shift in Indian Higher Education Internationalization

A new strategy sees India seeking to become a regional education hub by developing new forms of international collaboration based on co-creation, opening up to private education provision for dual and joint degrees, and entering international associations for knowledge sharing. But, it will need to ensure that appropriate strategies and quality assurance systems are in place at the different levels to ensure successful outcomes.
