About Academic Research and Internationalization

Academic Research and Internationalization promotes quality research within the Higher Education system. As India moves towards becoming a knowledge society and economy- keeping in view the requirements of the fourth industrial revolution, the higher education system must be re-energised, provide hands-on and practical learning experiences to students, and conduct academic research focused on addressing industrial and societal needs. India should be promoted as a global study destination that provides premium education at affordable costs and restore its role as a Viswa Guru. The establishment of the Research and Development Cell (RDC) in HEIs will enable the attainment of the targets of Atma-Nirbhar Bharat. Further, research collaboration, student exchanges, and programs between Indian institutions and global institutions will develop a culture of research and innovation in Indian HEIs to achieve global standards of quality. Activities that will be covered in this pillar are increasing presence of Indian institutes in Global rankings and accreditation.
