Washington: A high-powered delegation of an eminent American university will visit New Delhi and Mumbai this month to explore possibilities for collaborations with Indian academic institutions and to attract Indian students. A delegation of the University of Michigan (U-M) led by its president Mary Sue Coleman will be in India from November 13 to 17 to work jointly with Indian educational leaders on solving global issues such as trauma care and sustainable development, a media release said.

They hope to create educational experiences that allow both U-M and Indian students to understand the context within which global challenges must be understood, it said.

“This is a natural extension of the strong partnerships the university has enjoyed in India for many years now,” Coleman said.

“Just as we have built upon educational bonds in China, Ghana, South Africa and Brazil in recent years, we look forward to increasing our collaborations in India,” she added.
