Indian PM Narendra Modi is ramping up efforts to promote India as a global study destination. Modi’s proposal involves the launch of a ‘Study in India’ campaign, which promises to invite foreign HE providers to set up branch campuses in the country. This will add to the 631 foreign HE institutions already operating in India. Eldho Mathews, Head of Internationalising Higher Education (South India), British Council said that the Indian government is anticipating that a ‘Study in India’ campaign will raise the quality of India’s education offering whilst also attract more international students to India HE institutions.
