During an event at Delhi University’s Venkateshwara College, Union Education Minister made the announcement.

Dharmendra Pradhan said, “Two Australian universities will be establishing campuses in the GIFT CITY in Gujarat. We want to partner with Australia with accessibility, affordability, and quality of education for youngsters”.

Talking about the ties between the two countries, the education minister said, “India and Australia share some common things. Both aspirations are similar though the sizes of both countries are different; the strategy roadmap and aspirations are similar. I observe closely the development of Australia over the last 50 years”.

Australian Education Minister Jason Clare also attended the event, who is on a four-day visit to the country.

Minister Jason Clare also announced that noted former cricketer Adam Gilchrist, the global brand ambassador of Wollongong University, will help in setting up the university campus in India.

The Australian minister added, “One of the key strategies of Australia is education knowledge and skill development and vocational training. India, being a young nation, we want to collaborate with Australia”.

Next week, the two varsities will sign an agreement on setting up their campuses during Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese’s maiden visit to India.
