NEW DELHI, NOV 13:
With a vision to provide Indian students with Ivy League quality education, Ashoka University on Wednesday signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the University of Michigan, US.
The pact entails sharing of innovative teaching methods and course design, opportunities for faculty development and exchange, mutual visits of fellows and research scholars and student exchange programmes.
The MoU was signed by Mary Sue Coleman, President, University of Michigan, and Pramath Raj Sinha, Founder and Trustee of Ashoka University.
Mary Sue Coleman said in a statement, “We see India as a land of opportunity where a young population is eagerly seeking to stamp its presence on the world map.”
Sinha said: “With an objective to learn from the best, we have partnered with University of Michigan to emulate its academic pedigree and explore opportunities for learning, research and training for students and faculty.”
Ashoka University is a philanthropic initiative by some of the most eminent scholars and visionaries of our time. They have come together to provide deserving Indian students a well-rounded liberal education comparable to the celebrated Ivy League institutions and other great universities of the world, at just a fraction of the cost.
The quality of higher education in India is found inadequate to meet the demands of a rising number of high school graduates. With an increasing focus on specialization setting in very early in existing major programmes, it is also proving impossible for students to explore different options before they can choose any one stream in particular. This has led to young talent seeking out universities abroad for their undergraduate education, at a huge financial cost.
