The focus is not only on students’ mobility but also on Indian students becoming global citizens as part of the new policy.”
India will be promoted as a global study destination providing premium education at affordable costs thereby helping to restore its role as a Vishwa Guru. “An International Students Office at each Higher Education Institution (HEI) hosting foreign students will be set up to coordinate all matters relating to welcoming and supporting students arriving from abroad,” according to the NEP 2020.
