India Strives for Global Academic Excellence as President Murmu Addresses Education Disparities

In a poignant address during the 69th convocation of the prestigious Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Kharagpur, President Droupadi Murmu emphasized the noticeable absence of any Indian educational institution within the coveted top 50 globally. Despite India’s rich knowledge tradition, President Murmu urged a critical examination of the nation’s standing in international education rankings. Highlighting the importance of quality education over mere rankings, President Murmu acknowledged that a higher position on global lists not only attracts international students and faculty but also enhances the country’s overall academic reputation. The President urged the academic community to strive for excellence and foster an environment conducive to cutting-edge research and innovation. “India’s ancient knowledge heritage is unparalleled, and it is disheartening to see the absence of our educational institutions in the top global rankings. While quality should be our primary focus, we cannot ignore the fact that rankings play a role in attracting global talent and building a positive perception of our academic prowess,” remarked President Murmu. The President’s address prompted introspection within the academic community, leading to discussions on potential strategies to elevate the global standing of Indian educational institutions. Experts argue that a multi-faceted approach, including increased investment in research and development, international collaborations, and enhancements in infrastructure, is essential to bridge the existing gaps. President Murmu concluded her address by urging educational leaders, policymakers, and stakeholders to collectively work towards elevating India’s academic profile on the global stage. As the nation grapples with the challenges posed by the evolving landscape of higher education, there is a renewed commitment to ensuring that India’s institutions not only reflect its rich heritage but also stand tall among the world’s best.
