President Of QS University Rankings Lauded India’s Growth; PM Modi Said, “This Is Encouraging”

Prime Minister Narendra Modi responded to Nunzio Quacquarelli, President of QS University Rankings, expressing appreciation for India’s progress. PM Modi highlighted the encouraging nature of this development and emphasized the government’s significant focus on research, education, and innovation.

“This is encouraging to see! Our Government is focussing on research, learning and innovation in a big way. In the coming times, this emphasis will deepen even further, thus benefitting our Yuva Shakti,” PM Modi said

In a post on LinkedIn, Quacquarelli had said, “This year, Indian universities demonstrated the highest performance improvement among all G20 nations (a significant 14 per cent year-on-year improvement in their average ranking).”

Highlighting India’s significant strides in research, Prime Minister Modi noted that from 2017 to 2022, the country’s research output has surged by an impressive 54 percent. This remarkable growth has positioned India as the world’s fourth-largest producer of research. PM Modi credited visionary policies like the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, which he spearheaded, for contributing to India’s progress on the global stage.

“I had the honour of meeting the Prime Minister to discuss global higher education trends. During our engaging conversation, it was evident that PM Modi has a passionate commitment to revolutionise Indian education, reflected in the ambitious targets within the NEP,” he wrote on Linked In.

He also mentioned that India, across Asia, now holds the second-highest number of featured universities in the QS Subject Rankings, behind China.

“India now ranks prominently across in 44 out of the 55 QS Subject Rankings. Standout performances were noted in Computer Science, Chemistry, Biological Sciences, Business Studies, and Physics, among others. The Institutes of Eminence (IoE) contributed 47 of the 69 Indian university positions within the top-100 in any of the Subject Rankings,” Quacquarelli shared.
