It will follow a roundtable conference with 17 vice-chancellors or senior representatives of British universities, including the famous Cambridge.

The co-operation will include a tie-up with Imperial College, a science-based establishment and the world’s 5th ranked university. It is already helping to set up an Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) at Ropar.
