are among a growing list of U.S. higher education institutions forging stronger partnerships with India as that country continues to chart relentless economic growth, signaling that it has seemingly replaced China as America's preferred academic and research partner.
UH and Rice already have multiple programs, helped by being in a city with a large Indian population: UH offers an India Studies minor, and Rice opened a joint venture in 2020 with the Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur to research global energy demand. And the school just formalized a fellowship program that supports Kanpur students in coming to Rice to aid in ongoing research, said Rice Global Vice President Caroline Levander.
Decades later, after massive growth to the sector, the country is still not meeting its postsecondary education needs: Half of the population is under 25 years old, according to the National Association of Foreign Student Advisers. About 200,000 Indian students already come to the U.S. for undergraduate or graduate education each year, contributing nearly $7.7 billion to the U.S. economy, state department officials said.
Santosh Verma, secretary of the India Culture Center in Houston, said he sees more educational interactions as an opportunity to share cultures, which could also translate to better technological ideas. Anjana Mishra, visiting assistant teaching professor in politics and international relations at Florida International University, said her previous studies and work in India didn’t seem to be influenced by supposed limitations on speech.
