Canadian universities line up for India
Thursday, 18 March 2010, 03:56 Hrs
Toronto: Many Canadian universities and colleges are likely to enter India after the Indian parliament passes a bill to allow foreign educational institutions to set up independent campuses in the country.
Currently, universities and colleges from Canada and the US run 26 collaborative projects in India with local universities and colleges.
'The Indo-Canada Chamber of Commerce, the Canada-India Business council and we have been lobbying Canadian universities to open campuses in India,' Husain Neemuchwala of the Canada-India Business Council education committee told IANS, labelling the proposed bill a 'welcome step'.
The Indian cabinet Monday cleared a proposal to allow foreign universities to set up campuses in India, a step that is expected to provide quality education in the country and reduce the flow of Indian students abroad.
'This is a milestone, which will enhance choices, increase competition, and benchmark quality,' Human Resource Development Minister Kapil Sibal said after a cabinet meeting chaired by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.
Because of visa and other problems, less than 4,000 Indian students come to Canadian universities and colleges each year, as compared to 80,000 going to the US, 50,000 to Britain, and 40,000 to Australia.
'The Indian bill solves all these problems. Now Canadian universities will go there and impart world-class education. All visa hassles will be over for Indian students,' said Husain who was part of an education mission by the Indo-Canada Chamber of Commerce to India last month.
Quite a few Canadian universities already run programmes in India.
Among these, Toronto-based York University is the coordinating institution for education linkages and exchange programmes with various Indian institutions.
'York has just started its prestigious Schulich MBA programme in India in collaboration with the S.P. Jain Institute of Management and Research in Mumbai. Under this programme, students will complete the first year in Mumbai and then come to Toronto to complete the second year. So Indian students will have the best of both the worlds,' said Husain who also heads the Toronto-based International Centre for Education.
Apart from going to India with ministerial delegations and educational missions, presidents of many Canadian universities have undertaken independent trips to India to sign exchange agreements with universities and research institutions.
Roseann O'Reilly Runte, president and vice-chancellor of Carleton University, was in India last week to seek support for its Centre of Excellence for Indo-Canadian Relations.
'As India continues to be a significant player on the world stage, it will become more important to develop greater expertise in the Canada-India relationship,' she said during her India trip.
Well-known Canadian colleges such as Sheridan, Pickering and Quest here are also eager to forge ties with India through collaboration and campuses.

3: Lift the corporate veil of Indo-Canada
Chamber of Commerce and see who are members
of such association. It is those who are in
immigration business looting the public by
showing dreams to prospective students.Now
Indian has established colleges in Canada and
they want to make money from this field
through York Universities. It is only those
from Punjab who deem Canada as their mother
land instead of Punjab. Their motive is just
to immigrate directly or indirectly.I am
north american and see lot of discrimination
here by Canadian who deem us as we treat
Bihari and UP/Nepal people and the reality is
that we indian do cleaning here at night
time.

6: Good initiative by our government but they
asked 50 crores along with certain percentage
of profit that the foreign universities will
gain . seems bit high and there maybe chances
of few good universities will think about it
.
