At a recent international education conference in Pune, the Association of Indian Universities (AIU) revealed that Indian universities and colleges have the potential to host almost five lakh foreign students per year on their campuses. However, they are able to attract only 32,000 students. As if to give a ‘quick fix’ solution to this problem, the Union Minister of Human Resources Development, responded by saying that ‘institutions must “strategize policies” in such a way that intake of foreign students is utilized to full capacity’. Actually, the Government of India has to evolve a strategy on how it wants to attract international students, as part of its much awaited National Education Policy.
