Chairman, The Indus Foundation

Indo-American Education Summit 2016

Indian educational system has been undergoing a paradigm shift in the recent past. India has the

world’s second largest post-secondary student

population of around 20 million. India has over 722

universities and university-level institutions and

37,000 colleges, and yet the gross enrollment ratio

(GER) is low with only 20 per hundred accessing

higher education. India is far behind the developed

countries' average of 45 per hundred. The

Government of India has set a GER target of 30 per

cent by 2020 and for that to be achieved, the number

of universities and colleges will have to be increased many fold while enhancing the quality of existing

institutions.

A major challenge is educational excellence. India

has islands of excellence but the overall education

standards are poor. The report that 60 to 70 percent of

engineering graduates churned out are not

employable, speaks about the quality of higher

education in India. None of Indian universities are in the list of top ranked universities in the world. All

this needs to change.

The Indus Foundation offers an efficient and cost-

effective means of interaction between Indian

institutions and foreign universities through the

specially designed Indo-American Education

Summit. Activities during the Summit include panel

discussions and one-on-one interactions between

Indian institutions and foreign universities for

academic collaborations, apart from student recruitment. The Summit is designed to be a fast-

paced program, providing Indian institutions with

valuable exposure to a large number of reputable

foreign universities from around the world. The

Summit will help Indian institutions achieve

excellent results in terms of academic collaborations

and student recruitment.

Benefits of Summit 2016

Through academic collaboration with reputable

foreign universities, Indian institutions will be able to

enrich the quality of their programs by tapping the

outstanding teaching expertise and latest curricular

developments. Further, the Indian institutions will be

able to provide their students with first-hand

knowledge of the latest developments, trends, and

techniques available at the foreign universities. As a

consequence, Indian institutions will have a

marketing edge for attracting a wider pool of good

quality students from India and abroad. Some of the

benefits are:

ACADEMIC COLLABORATIONS

1. Establishment of Research Collaboration

programs with foreign universities.

2. Collaborations with foreign universities

for offering Joint / Dual Degree programs

in India.

3. Development of Twinning and Transfer

programs with foreign universities.

5

4. Collaborations with foreign universities

for offering career-oriented programs in

India in a wide range of fields.

5. Collaborations with foreign universities

for offering distance education &

vocational education programs.

6. Setting-up of partnership programs with

foreign universities for assured admission

of Indian students, after completion of

their studies.

7. Faculty Exchange programs between

foreign universities and Indian

Institutions for gaining international

exposure.

8. Student Exchange programs with foreign

universities for enhancing the educational

experience of students.

9. Attracting students of foreign universities

for study in Indian Institutions.

10. Opportunity to apply for the prestigious

education awards.

RECRUITMENT OF STUDENTS

1. Opportunity to recruit undergraduate and

graduate students.

2. Generation of income and saving of money on

recruiting activities.

3. Enlargement of the marketplace for enrolling

better-qualified students.

4. Substantial reduction of time and costs for

recruiting students.

Who should attend? Indo-American Education Summit 2016 is a must for anyone involved in international academic collaborations as

well as those interested in student enrollment. The Summit attracts high-level decision makers who are shaping the

education field. Senior professionals from education, business and government sectors from around the world come

Academic Collaborations Academic collaborations are possible between

foreign universities and Indian institutions in several

fields. Major fields covered would be Engineering &

Applied Sciences, Information Technology, Business

& Management, Clinical & Health Sciences, Life

Sciences & Biomedicine, Agricultural Sciences,

Physical Sciences, Environment & Natural

Resources, Education & Teacher Training, Arts &

Humanities, and Social Sciences.

Research Collaborations

International research collaboration has always

helped scientists to keep abreast of international

science and to share expertise and resources. Today,

one-fifth of the world's scientific papers are co-

authored internationally — a result of increasingly

easy communication and cross-border travel.

Research collaboration supports research, training

and knowledge transfer in everything from

architecture to zoology, apart from supporting world-class research facilities.

The Council of Scientific & Industrial Research

(CSIR) is the premier industrial research and

development organization in India. CSIR, for

example, can play an important role in promoting

international research collaboration. In a similar

manner, there are a good number of universities,

colleges and centres in India that have research

programs. These facts indicate opportunities for

capacity building for research in India. Research

collaboration between Indian institutions and foreign universities will be a ―win, win‖ for all.

Joint / Dual Degree Programs

The on-campus programs to be offered in India by

foreign universities in collaboration with Indian

institutions would be Graduate and Post-Graduate

degree programs. The duration of Graduate degree

programs would be three to four years while Post-

Graduate degree programs would be two years.

Students will receive degrees of the foreign

universities after successful completion of the

programs in India. Foreign universities and Indian institutions will administer the degree programs

jointly.

Joint / Dual Degree Programs: Collaborative

programs are also sometimes known as Joint Degree

programs or Dual Degree programs in India. In these

programs, Indian institutions will continue to offer

their regular Graduate and Post-Graduate programs

as per the Indian curricula and give Indian degrees

and diplomas after successful completion.

Simultaneously, Indian institutions will supplement their existing curricula with the additional curricula

of foreign universities. Students who successfully

16

complete the existing curricula and the additional

curricula will be given degrees by the foreign

universities.

AICTE: Collaborative degree programs which are

technical in nature, namely, Engineering,

Architecture, Computer Science, Business, Hotel

Management and Catering Technology, Pharmacy,

etc., require the approval of statutory bodies such as

the All India Council of Technical Education

(AICTE), New Delhi.

Certificate Programs

Certificate programs include corporate training

programs, executive development programs, and

management development programs. Graduate and

Post-Graduate certificate programs are sought in

virtually every discipline, including in business,

education, health sciences, information technology,

humanities, and the arts. Certificate programs are of

interest because of their short duration. Students

completing the certificate programs offered through

Indian institutions will be given certificates by foreign universities.

CORPORATE EDUCATION: Foreign universities

can develop custom educational programs which

would be primarily delivered by Indian instructors

who are experts in their fields. Foreign universities'

reputation as valuable collaborators and resources,

and the breadth of their programs could enable them

to facilitate the growth of leading corporations,

public agencies, and non-profit organizations in

India.

Twinning / Transfer Programs

Twinning / Transfer programs allow Indian

institutions to offer Graduate and Post-Graduate

programs which will have their regular curricula. The existing curricula may be supplemented by additional

curricula of the foreign universities if desired by

Indian institutions. Through Twinning / Transfer

programs, Indian students will be able to earn several

credits during the course of their normal study in

Indian institutions. Students will have the opportunity

either to complete their studies in India or to transfer

their credits to the foreign universities at any time

after completing at least one year of their studies in

Indian institutions. Students who opt for transfer can

then finish their Degree programs by completing the remainder of credits in-residence at the foreign

universities.

Twinning / Transfer programs are "win-win"

situations for all concerned parties. Indian institutions are strengthened by access to the latest in foreign

curricular developments. Foreign-bound Indian

students save substantial cost of studying abroad.

Students enrolling in the Graduate and Post-Graduate

programs of the foreign universities will be given

Degrees by the foreign universities after successful

completion of study. Students who do not plan to go

to the foreign universities and students who have

been unable to get foreign visas will complete their

program of study in India, and would be awarded Indian Degrees by the Indian institutions concerned.

Distance Education Programs

The phenomenal growth of distance education is

explained by the fact that over 90% of college students access the Internet, with 50% accessing the

Web daily. Also, Indian companies and organizations

are spending huge amounts on in-house training and

education programs through distance and blended

mode.

BLENDED LEARNING

Blended Learning is the process of incorporating

many different learning styles that can be

accomplished through the use of 'blended' virtual and

physical resources. Some of the benefits are:

Blended learning won’t interfere with student's

17

current job

Student will cut down on commuting time and

costs – save money on petrol and parking.

Student can meet and connect with classmates

online and in person

Student can enjoy learning in a hands-on environment

Taking classes at an Indian institution closest to

student's work or home means more convenience

and flexibility.

Indian institutions including companies and

organizations, in academic collaboration with foreign

universities, will be able to offer an array of degree,

diploma, and certificate programs at Bachelor’s,

Master’s, and Doctoral levels in a wide range of fields. Students will receive degrees, diplomas, and

certificates from the concerned foreign universities

after successful completion of the programs in India.

Vocational Education Programs

Vocational education in India aims to develop skilled

manpower through diversified courses to meet the

requirements of organized and unorganized sectors and to instill self-employment skills in people

through a large number of self employment oriented

courses. It is expected that there will be an acute

shortage of skilled manpower in the world by 2022.

Indian manpower will be handy by then. Government

of India has already announced skill development for

500 million Indians by 2022.

In the USA and some other countries, community

colleges (technical colleges) are primarily two-year

institutions of higher education. After graduating

from a community college, some students transfer to

a university or liberal arts college for two years to complete a bachelor's degree, while others enter the

workforce. Community colleges serve the needs of

society through training skilled workers and also

provide opportunity to students continue their

education in professional colleges. Indian institutions

have a wide range of opportunities for collaborating

with foreign community colleges and technical

colleges for skills development.

Faculty Exchange Programs

Faculty exchange programs would provide participants with the opportunity to teach or conduct

research for one semester or an academic year at a

foreign university. Faculty members would benefit

from exposure to a culturally varied and diverse

faculty make-up, with an opportunity to exchange

ideas and observe a variety of styles. Faculty

exchange program is one way to take advantage of

the benefits of diverse faculty.

In order to create diverse faculty, foreign universities

and Indian institutions can develop plans for faculty

exchange programs. The benefit will be immediate,

and students will have the opportunity to learn

concepts and ideas presented in an entirely new and

different manner. The faculty exchange programs

present a unique opportunity for interaction between

foreign universities and Indian institutions.

Student Exchange Programs

In student exchange programs between Indian

institutions and foreign universities, students choose

to study abroad and vice versa in collaborating

institutions. An exchange student could live with a

host family or in a designated place including hostel,

affordable apartment / house or student lodge. The

cost for each program differs according to countries

and institutions. The participants could either receive

scholarship / loan, or be self-funded.

Programs vary depending upon program length,

country, content and other factors. Students going on

university exchange could pay tuition fees on home

campus. Students going on exchange program could choose either to live on campus or off campus.

18

Partnership Programs

Academic Partnership programs can be established

for the purpose of improving the academic quality of

Indian senior secondary schools, junior colleges, and

degree colleges. Partnership programs help to

improve the preparation of students for entry into

foreign universities.

Partnerships between Indian institutions and the foreign universities may be entered into, so that

Indian students who complete 12th standard could be

admitted as freshmen in Graduate programs of

foreign universities. Similar partnerships may be

entered into so that Indian Graduate students may be

admitted to Post-Graduate programs in foreign

universities directly.

Partnership programs provide a measure of certainty

to students in Indian institutions that they will be

accepted in good foreign universities. Students will

be spared the stress of having to prepare for the highly competitive entrance examinations in India

with the knowledge that their admission in foreign

universities is almost assured.

Study Abroad in India Programs

Study abroad in India programs will foster

intercultural development among students, who will

have the understanding and skills to effectively,

humanely, and positively navigate across different

cultures.

Studying abroad in India for a semester or year will

give students a fresh perspective on themselves, India, and the world. It will expose them to diverse

people and viewpoints, and they will get to

experience a different way of life apart from their

own in their country. They will be immersed in the

language, culture, and people of the host country and

will get to experience life as residents, not as mere

tourists. While studying in India, they will also earn

credit towards their current degree.

Students will pay the regular tuition and fees, room

and board expenses, to their parent institution.

Foreign universities will pay an agreed amount to Indian institutions for providing tuition, room and

board. International travel costs will be borne by the

students.

Student Recruitment

A large number of well qualified and financially able Indian students are interested in opportunities for higher

education in good Indian and foreign institutions. The Indus Foundation assists Indian and foreign institutions to

recruit students. Its staff is in a unique position to offer current and relevant advice to Indian students on the one

hand and to the Indian and foreign institutions on the other. Indian sponsors and exhibitors are invited to recruit

students attending the Summit.

Activities during the Summit include recruiting sessions and one-on-meetings with students and parents.

Summit will provide an excellent opportunity to recruit substantial number of qualified students.

Attendance of students at the Summit will be in several thousand because of intensive advertising and

promotional campaign prior to the Summit.

The Foundation will follow-up with students who attend the Summit until they actually enroll.

One-on-one meetings with students will be provided for Indian sponsors. Students interested in studying

abroad or in India will participate in the one-on-one meetings with representatives of foreign universities

and Indian sponsors. Entry is free for Indian students.

NOTE: Indian institutions and organizations interested in recruitment of students are advised to register as sponsors

or take a table space.

19

Earlier Summits

The Indus Foundation has been privileged to

organize eight Education Summits since 2009 in

India. The objective of the events has been to bring

about academic collaborations between Indian

institutions and foreign universities, apart from

recruiting of students for study abroad or in India. By

all accounts, the Summits have been considered to be

highly successful. The events have been attended by

vice-chancellors, provosts, deans, faculty, and

recruitment officers of foreign and Indian

institutions. Students have attended the events in their

thousands.

A FEW COMMENTS OF PARTICIPANTS

Just a quick note to thank you and all your Indus

Foundation colleagues for your kind invitation and

gracious hospitality during last week’s Indo-Global

Education Summit 2012 in Hyderabad. My

congratulations on an excellent forum for discussions

and collaboration among Indian universities and

universities from throughout the rest of the world. It

was truly a global summit. I look forward to

strengthening the new relationships generated last

week and establishing possible new links. Well done!

Dr. Don Schramm, Program Director, Department

of Engineering Professional Development,

University of Wisconsin-Madison, USA

I thoroughly enjoyed the Summit and the subsequent

tour. I am overwhelmed by India and its people and

look forward to progressing ties with its institutions. I

would also like to offer a special thanks to the Indus

team who I found to be very, very helpful, supportive

and excellent hosts.

Dr. Jeff Hollett, Associate Vice President, Student

Experience, Mount Saint Vincent University,

Canada

Thank you for hosting such a successful event. It was

particularly interesting to engage with a multi-

national list of attendees as most other events I attend

are usually very UK focussed. We met some good

students at the expo and have 4 or 5 strong

collaboration leads with Indian and other institutions

that we are already progressing with them directly.

Mr. Neil Austin, International Partnership

Manager, Edinburgh Napier University, UK

I want to thank you for your warm hospitality and

taking such good care of us. It was very special to

enjoy dinner at your home as well. It was truly a

marvelous trip and I'm confident that my University

will indeed develop some important collaborations

from it.

tremendous work and organization! Everything went

so well and we have been exposed to the greatest

opportunities for research and collaboration.

Dr. Majida Bargach, Associate Director, Center for

International Studies, University of Virginia, USA

I am writing to thank you for organising the Indo-Global Education Summit and Expo 2012. It was very

participants. Congratulations to you and your staff

for a successful event.

Dr. James P. Cross, Associate Provost and Senior

International Officer and Professor, Champlain

College, USA

This was an excellent summit in every respect and I thoroughly enjoyed every minute. I made very good

contacts with the participants and in particular the

Indian institutions and am looking forward to the

exchanges which will doubtless occur. I would very

much like to participate in the next summit.

Dr. Randhir Rawatlal, Director of Undergrad

Studies, University of Cape Town, South Africa

I want to thank you for coordinating a valuable and

successful summit. This was our first time

participating, and we found it valuable on many levels. We now have a much better sense of how to

participate fully and gain value from the event, and I

am certain that we will participate in the future. I

want to commend you and your colleagues for

making possible the intersection of interests and

collaborations that will be so valuable for India's

educational future. We are honored to be a part of

the is bright future.

Dr. Dennis A. Trinkle, Provost and Chief Academic

Officer, Harrison College, USA

Very many thanks for a superbly organized and very

well planned conference. We enjoyed it very much

and it has already led to many productive

conversations.

experience and now have a very good working

knowledge of the Indian education scene. I also

enjoyed meeting with participants from other parts of the world and sharing notes with them. Please keep

me posted with regard to next year's summit, I am

very interested to participate once more.

Mr. Mohamed Rashid Desai, Director

International, School of Accounting, Curtin

University, Australia

It was an absolute pleasure attending the Indo-

Global Education Summit 2011. I met many people,

First of all, I would like to thank you and organizers

of Indo-Global Educational Summit 2011 for

successful organization of meetings and possibility to meet so many people from India and other countries.

We have reported the results of participation in

Summit, and our University authorities are looking

for ways of improving collaboration with India.

Dr. Igor Cemortan, Head of the Department of

Molecular biology and Human genetics

SMPhU "Nicolae Testemitanu", Moldova

Congratulations on the event, which I believe was

quite successful. I met a few students, and am now in

talks with several other universities, so all the

objectives I had for this event were met.

Dr. Ricardo Rato, Co-Registrar, University of Saint

Joseph, Macau, China

I would like to thank you and all your staff for the

wonderful Indo-Global Education Summit 2011. It

was a real pleasure for me to participate in this

event, to meet many wonderful people, to establish

many new contacts and to learn a lot about your

great country. I do appreciate very much your time

spent on our conversations on India, on Poland and

on the World. Thank you very much also for the organization of the sightseeing. It was fantastic!

Prof. Dr Maciej Zukowski, Vice-Rector for

Research and International Relations, Poznan

University of Economics, Poland

First, I want to thank you for your hospitality and

another successful Summit. Attending the Summit for

the third year I am confident that we will establish

some collaborations with the Indian institutions.

There is enormous potential. I visited one specific college which I feel fits the mission of D'Youville

College and we are currently working on the

evaluation process. I strongly recommend the other

American delegates to be patient and persistent in

developing collaborations with the Indian

institutions.

Dr. Arup K. Sen, Vice President for Academic

Affairs, D'Youville College, USA

I think the idea behind the Indus Foundation's

concept of providing a venue in which to assist

Indian and American institutions to forge academic partnerships over the upcoming years, is brilliant

and far-sighted. The initiative appears to be working

already, at least from my institution's perspective, as

evidenced by the great deal of email interchange

between our institutions since the conference. We

hope to see some of these initial forays result in

substantive and programmatic joint efforts over time.

Dr. Carol Magai, Dean of Research, Long Island

University, USA

Participating in the Summit was one of the most enriching and productive experiences of my whole

professional life: through the Summit in Hyderabad

and the Universities tour to Chennai, Bangalore,

Mumbai and Delhi I was able to know better your

beautiful country, admire its people and culture and,

most of all, understand the university system. The

whole program was very well designed and very

efficiently conducted by Mr. Anumolu and his staff. I

did find my partners-to-be in India through the

Summit, and this is an excellent outcome.

Dr. Rosa Marina de Brito Meyer, Associate Vice-

President, Pontifical Catholic University, Brazil

Thank you for organizing this wonderful trip. Peggy

(vice-provost) and I both found it to be most

instructive. Exciting things are happening in India,

and it is imperative that we have opportunities such

as this, to get to know each other. Please don't

hesitate to contact me if I can be of service to you in

your efforts to bridge Indian and American higher

education.

Dr. Jamshed Bharucha, Provost & Senior Vice

President, Tufts University, USA

Thank you for the truly enlightening experience of the

recent Summit. It was an extremely enriching and

fruitful collaboration in terms of bringing us together

25

with our colleagues from across the world in the

Indian education sector. The attention to detail and

seamless transition during the summit and between

cities was a mark of a highly skilled planning team

and was indicative of the care and thought your

committee put into this summit and your efforts are genuinely appreciated.

Ms. Vanessa Vardon, Graduate, Research and Int’l

Programs Manager, Drexel University, USA

It was a great pleasure meeting you and attending the

summit. I would like to thank you for the excellent

arrangements and for providing the opportunity to

meet with personnel from Indian higher education

institutions. Dr. Tadisina and I will be following

through with some of the contacts we had established

at the summit.

Dr. Ramanarayanan Viswanathan, Interim Dean

and Professor, College of Engineering, Southern

Illinois University Carbondale , USA

Thank you for organizing the outstanding Indo-

American Summit. You and everyone else from the

Indus Foundation have much to be proud of. The

event was a phenomenal success, thanks to the

dedication and hard work of everyone involved

Dr. Bert Barry, Director of International Services,

Saint Louis University, USA

First of all, I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to

you and your organization for the excellent job you

did with the Summit. Both my wife and I enjoyed our

participation immensely. I am now in the process of

going through the various proposals I have received

from institutions in India and will be trying to

evaluate these with the help of our staff here to see

which of these we may wish to pursue.

Dr. Stephen Durrant, Vice Provost, International

Affairs, University of Oregon, USA

To those of you responsible for the logistical matters,

please accept my heartfelt thanks for the very

smoothly managed event and the overall very fine

experience. I have so many vivid memories it is hard

to select the most meaningful; however, among the

top of my recollections - as of this moment - are the

highly accomplished chief guests, the sincerity of

everyone with whom I worked, and the opportunities

for future relationships with Indian professionals and

students alike. The participation by Indian delegates

and students was quite inspirational

Dr. Pamela S. Cutright, Special Assistant to the

Campus Provost, WVU Institute of Technology,

USA

We enjoyed our trip enormously and are grateful for

your hospitality. While the meetings were intense, we

were impressed by the level of enthusiasm of the

participants and the number of opportunities. Since

then we have established communications with a

number of institutions and are considering a number

of collaboration opportunities.

Dr. Keya Sadeghipour, Dean, Temple University
