India, which has more people than the U.S., Europe and Latin America combined, spends more on education than China, Russia or Brazil.

By the next decade, India will have more college graduates than any other country except China – with 12 per cent of the world’s total, the university said. James Holloway, U-M vice-provost for global and engaged education, said the visit will provide an opportunity to build new partnerships and enhance existing ones.

“India offers unique opportunities for our students to engage in global educational experiences that benefit both the people of India and the students who participate there,” he said.”

The partnerships also will allow Indian students to conduct research at U-M. In Delhi, the university will partner with Ashoka University, the National Council of Applied Economic Research and Delhi University.

The U-M group also will collaborate with the All India Institute of Medical Sciences to work on trauma care, cancer research and genetics, the university said.

 In Mumbai, Coleman will deliver the keynote address at the India Business Conference, which is celebrating its 5th anniversary this year.
