India’s vision to become a global education hub is underpinned by the India@2047 strategy — a 25-year roadmap launched alongside the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020. Structured into five-year phases, the plan sets out a bold trajectory for transformation:
- Phase 1 (2022–2027): Establish foundational reforms, including regulatory clarity, institutional autonomy, and expanded international collaboration.
- Phase 2 (2027–2032): Finalise partnerships, promote dual and joint degrees, and embed industry integration in curricula.
- Phase 3 (2032–2037): Strengthen India’s global education brand, encourage foreign campuses, and align higher education to future skills.
- Phase 4 (2037–2042): Deepen research ecosystems, regionalise excellence, and enhance faculty and infrastructure quality.
- Phase 5 (2042–2047): Cement India’s role as a global knowledge leader, exporting innovation, research, and educational models. For UK institutions, the time to engage with the education sector is now – to contribute meaningfully, build sustainable TNE models, and play a role in shaping India’s journey to 2047.
