POLICYMAKER’S PERSPECTIVE
GUJARAT: BUILDING A BETTER FUTURE BY TRANSFORMING EDUCATION The Government of Gujarat has embarked on a mission to make Gujarat an education hub of the country. The Study in Gujarat campaign is part of the efforts that are directed towards attracting students from various parts of the world and bringing together a diversified community through this platform, says Anju Sharma, Principal Secretary, Higher & Technical Education, Government of Gujarat, in conversation with Anupama Mehra of Elets News Network (ENN). What steps are you taking to ensure more students around the globe come to study in Gujarat? Under the Study in the Gujarat campaign, we will organise roadshows and presentations across 12 cities in different countries along with different states of our own country. For foreign students, relaxations have been given to institutes for admission so that students can directly apply through websites without any question on merit. After the registration, they will be offered courses and a list of institutions on our portal i.e. study. gujarat.gov.in. On the same page, they will be directed to respective admission websites. For further detail and inquiry process, they have to communicate with respective universities. If the foreign students require, we will help them in visa through the Indian embassy in their country. For the same, they can write to us at visa_sig@ gujarat.gov.in.
Please tell us in detail about the Study in Gujarat campaign.
