“There is no need for candidates to go abroad to get higher education because 1,000 foreign students have visited India to get higher education last year and more than 50,000 students have enrolled for various types of courses,” said Edu Minister.
Even after the restrictions imposed due to the COVID 19 pandemic, the online education system is becoming successful and the Indian scientist and researchers should be given complete credit for this because they make the tiny tots work on computers and mobiles.
