Student exchange programs
While studying at a university you may get a chance to participate in a student exchange program. If to talk about foreign universities, don’t hesitate and use a given chance. Exchange programs are available for many years and they enable Indians to gain knowledge abroad.
There are a lot of other projects for students to visit European countries managed by organizations such as European voluntary service (EVS), Erasmus, Erasmus+. They are responsible for sharing experience, learning culture, habits and have a goal to improve education. Unfortunately, Indian international ties with continents, except North America, are not set up on a good level. Unlike other countries, it is better to open new horizons for Indians and make more projects in Africa, Asia, Europe and South America.
A good example is that a senior American education official will visit India to develop an international teacher and student exchange program among the Punjab, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh and the US state of Indiana. So American students, especially from Indiana State have an opportunity to study culture of India deeply. This will be the very first initiative by Indiana with India. It is not widespread between American students however, in the state of Indiana it’s gaining in popularity. Indiana State is informing students about the diversity of cultures, and showcase international citizen communities in Indiana. Since 2016, Indiana is the second state after California where Indian history has become part of public schools’ history books curriculum.
There are also an interesting offers for Indians in Poland. India and Poland share a long-standing friendly relationship, marked by high level political contacts, vibrant economic engagement and a strong defense partnership. Diplomatic relations between Poland and India were established in 1954, leading to the opening of Embassy of India in Warsaw in 1957. The two countries shared union, common ideological perceptions. Poles are given scholarships under ICCR schemes to study in India every year. Nearly 100 Polish officials have availed of the ITEC capacity building training since 2007. Students from India have been studying in Poland on private basis in areas of education such as medicine, engineering, town planning, ship-building, and coal-mining. The number of such students from India has climbed to over 2500.
Medical programs are most popular. Medical universities of Poland are famous with their high level of knowledge. Not only Polish go to study there, but also citizens of different European countries.
