 Australia–India: A Long-Term Educational Partnership – George Thiveos

 

               George Thiveos noted that educational ties between India and Australia have become stronger in alignment with India’s National Education Policy (NEP) 2020. Existing institutional partnerships—such as IIT Bombay–Monash, TISS–Monash, and Pune University–University of Melbourne—demonstrate that a solid educational infrastructure already exists in India.“Having five foreign universities from five different countries set up campuses in a single Indian city is globally rare. This is the beginning of a new era of cooperation,” he remarked. Quoting Oxford University research, Thiveos said that every $100 million invested in a university adds $1 billion to the GDP. “With five international universities now coming to India, the expected economic benefit could exceed $5 billion,” he concluded.The panel discussion was moderated by Atul Khosla, Founder and Vice Chancellor of Shoolini University.
