The partnerships will promote faculty and student exchanges, dual degree programmes, joint teaching, joint research, joint conferences and joint publications, besides pathways into the Ph.D. programmes in the Australian universities. A delegation led by C. Raj Kumar visited Australia this week as a part of JGU’s larger vision to establish strong international collaborations with global universities. The Australian visit coincides with JGU’s 10th anniversary and a commitment since its founding to develop strong Australia-India linkages.

“These collaborations will create stronger people-to-people linkages and research collaborations between the students and the faculty in India and Australia. India’s demographic dividend has created new opportunities for higher education to become the strongest pillar of the partnership between both the countries,” C. Raj Kumar said. As part of the vision of the CIAS, JGU will be hosting more than 100 Australian students in India in 2020 for various India immersion programmes.
