New Delhi, Apr 23: In response to the appreciation of India for its growth by QS University Rankings President, Nunzio Quacquarelli, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday said that it is “encouraging” to see this happening.
PM Modi said that the government is focussing on research, learning, and innovation in a big way.
India’s progress on the global stage has undoubtedly been aided by visionary policies such as the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, spearheaded by Prime Minister Modi.
“I had the honour of meeting the Prime Minister to discuss global higher education trends. During our engaging conversation, it was evident that PM Modi has a passionate commitment to revolutionise Indian education, reflected in the ambitious targets within the NEP,” he wrote on Linked In.
He also mentioned that India, across Asia, now holds the second-highest number of featured universities in the QS Subject Rankings, behind China.
“India now ranks prominently across in 44 out of the 55 QS Subject Rankings. Standout performances were noted in Computer Science, Chemistry, Biological Sciences, Business Studies, and Physics, among others. The Institutes of Eminence (IoE) contributed 47 of the 69 Indian university positions within the top-100 in any of the Subject Rankings,” Quacquarelli shared.
