Union Minister of Commerce and Industry Piyush Goyal stated today that education as a service has significant potential to contribute to India's export earnings and help bring high-quality Indian education to the rest of the world. Addressing the Vice Chancellors' Conclave on Reimagining Internationalisation of Higher Education for Viksit Bharat 2047 in New Delhi, Mr. Goyal described the Vice Chancellors as the architects of India's future. He added that each Vice Chancellor carries a significant responsibility as they prepare students to face the challenges of the future and lay the foundations of a modern, developed nation. The Minister further stated that the government has made a comprehensive effort to reform India's education system. Referring to the National Education Policy 2020, he noted that the policy has opened India's thinking to aspire for international standards in education, expand educational institutions to meet India's growing needs, and attract students from across the world. Noting the need to reassess educational institutions and their teaching styles, he emphasized that subjects such as international trade and India's Free Trade Agreements should be included in academic curricula so that students understand the opportunities available in the global economy.
