France Sets Ambitious Goal to Host 30,000 Indian Students: A Bright Future Awaits
In a powerful step towards strengthening bilateral relations, France has announced its goal of hosting 30,000 Indian students over the next year. French Ambassador to India, Thierry Mathou, emphasized the importance of people-to-people exchanges as a cornerstone of the France-India relationship. This initiative was set in motion by French President Emmanuel Macron during his visit to India in January.
Here’s what makes France an exciting destination for Indian students:
- Courses in English: A wide range of programs is available in English, catering to students not proficient in French.
- Preparatory French Courses: For those aiming to master French, international preparation courses are offered.
- October Education Fair: A must-attend event showcasing all the opportunities available for Indian students in France.
The strong bond between France and India encompasses various aspects, not limited to education. When Prime Minister Modi visited France in July, an important development took place – the introduction of a five-year Schengen circulation visa for Indian alumni.
This significant change has had a profound impact by facilitating greater student mobility and fostering stronger cross-cultural connections. However, the collaboration between the two countries goes beyond education. Economic relations between France and India are steadily progressing and showing promising growth. As Ambassador Mathou highlighted, French investments are flourishing in various sectors in India:
- Fashion & Luxury: French companies are deepening connections in Mumbai, collaborating with talented Indian artists.
- Agriculture: French firms are investing in regions like Meghalaya, driving innovation in food production.
- Retail: Carrefour, in partnership with Apparel Group, is making a comeback to expand its retail footprint in India.
The strong bilateral trade between India and France has reached unprecedented levels, with French companies playing a significant role in India’s “Make in India” initiative. This collaboration holds great promise for the future, not only in terms of education and business but also in fostering enduring and mutually beneficial partnerships between the two nations.
