Education and knowledge association has great potential in relationships: sent from India to USA

The partnership between education and knowledge is an area with great potential in the relations between India and the United States, as the Indian ambassador to the United States, Taranjit Singh Sandhu, told the country’s new students joining the universities. The Consulate General of India in New York organized an event titled “Meet & Greet” in association with GOPIO- Manhattan, a branch of the Global Organization of People of Indian Origin (GOPIO) for new Indian students joining universities in the United States.

Mentors from various industries interacted with the students and exchanged valuable ideas and experiences. In his video address to students on Saturday, Sandhu said he sees the dynamism of India, the energy of India, and India’s capacity for innovation and creativity in the students who have come to America to pursue a higher education in various fields.

“The education and knowledge association is an area that has great potential in our bilateral relations,” said Sandhu. “You know that the Prime Minister (Narendra Modi) has launched a New Education Policy (NEP), which was issued last year, after a gap of almost 34 years. It opens up great opportunities to further deepen academic, scientific, and research cooperation with countries like the United States. Our focus will continue to be identifying and strengthening synergies. “

In his address to the nation last month on Independence Day, Modi said the new education policy is a way to fight poverty and meet the needs of the 21st century. The National Education Policy was approved by the Federal Cabinet last year at a meeting chaired by Modi to replace the 34-year-old National Education Policy that was framed in 1986 and aims to pave the way for transformative reforms in schools and higher education systems to make India a global knowledge superpower.
