Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced on Saturday that India has established 650 new universities over the past decade. He also noted that the number of medical seats has more than doubled since 2014, reflecting significant growth in the country’s higher education sector.
“… now foreign universities are also coming to India. Arrangements have also been made so that our youth can obtain foreign degrees within India,” Modi said. “For 35 years, there was no education policy. “From 2004 to 2014, there were fewer than 350 universities. And today, within 10-12 years, nearly 650 new universities have been added,” the prime minister said.
In his address to the nation on the 80th Independence Day, Modi said the government brought in a new education policy after decades. We brought a new education policy,” he said from the ramparts of the Red Fort. The prime minister said India is emerging as an attractive destination for foreign universities.
