NEW DELHI, Sept. 27, 2022 — On the occasion of 75 years of India’s Independence, Deakin University, Australia, has announced a new strategic engagement initiative in India: DEAKIN UNIVERSITY HUBS.
Deakin was the first international university to establish its presence in India in 1994. Over the last two years, its office in New Delhi has set up innovative engagement models to boost learning opportunities for students in India. Students can now commence the first part of their studies with a Deakin partner institution in India and then transfer to a Deakin campus in Australia for the second part of their educational journey.
DEAKIN UNIVERSITY HUBS will be the central point of all engagement activities, alongside strategic partners OP Jindal Global University, Symbiosis International University, and Chitkara University. This initiative will enhance collaboration and deliver on the National Education Policy’s goal of the internationalization of education.
Deakin announced it in the presence of Shri Dharmendra Pradhan, Hon. Minister of Education and Minister of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship, Government of India, at an international conclave in New Delhi.
Dharmendra Pradhan said, “This event is important for me, India, and the youth of India because academicians, technocrats, and thought leaders are here. I’m here to take advice from all of you. I want to align my National Education Policy with the emerging thoughts of the globe.”
The conclave brought together thought leaders from academia, government, and industry. They deliberated on various critical themes:
- Digital transformation
- Internationalization of education
- International collaboration in research and innovation
- Skill-based education
- Global employability
“I am excited to be back in India. It couldn’t have been for a better occasion than the launch of the DEAKIN UNIVERSITY HUBS at OP Jindal Global University, Symbiosis International University, and Chitkara University,” said Professor Iain Martin, Vice Chancellor of Deakin University.
