New Delhi: "The BRICS Emerging Economies Universities Summit 2015" was inaugurated by President Pranab Mukherjee at Rashtrapati Bhawan. The three-day long “Times Higher Education BRICS Emerging Economies Universities Summit 2015” commenced with an address by the President of India.
Speaking on the occasion, the President said that in today’s era of globalisation, which rests on the pillars of Collaboration, Cooperation and Communication, there are ample opportunities to use these “3Cs” to create many world class universities. “The combined strength of the five BRICS nations can develop an educational eco-system for their citizens as well as for the world citizens,” he added.
He expressed hope that the Summit will come out with innovative solutions, with the cooperation of the private sector, for the emerging economies to further strengthen their higher education system and in the process emerge as leaders.
The President said that the quality of education has a direct co-relation with inclusive growth and development. “Emerging economies facing the challenge of meeting the developmental aspirations of their citizens must build an educational system comparable to the best in the world. A world class university in today’s time is one that can address the global problems of society having the entire world as its constituency.”
“To meet bench-marks, institutions need to provide greater emphasis on quality research that is recognised globally. This would help in their efforts to become world-class. What is needed further is for such aspiring universities to reach out, communicate, exchange and encourage mobility of persons and ideas across the globe,” he said.
The international summit is being organised by Times Higher Education (THE), UK and the International Institute for Higher Education Research and Capacity Building (IIHEd), O. P. Jindal Global University.
