The Internationalization of Education: An Indian Perspective

This article discusses the internationalization of higher education in India. The author rejects the notion that education is simply a “business” and suggests that universities viewing India as only a place to recruit for revenues will face opposition, both political and social. Internationalization of higher education is looked at in India as a means of improving the quality of higher education in India and a process for enhancing national research capabilities through international collaboration of mutual interest. India struggles to define “internationalization” for its universities and is slow to implement effective policies.
