INDIA PLATFORM

Page 22: A STORY between Flanders and India. CHAPTER 1 BEGINNINGS

Europe and India

• 1981: India as a recipient of EU aid• 2008: India and Europe as strategic partners

What does this mean for higher education and research?

Inception of the India Platform:

A platform for collaboration between Europe and India across all sectors of society

Page 23: A STORY between Flanders and India. CHAPTER 1 BEGINNINGS

The India Platform Vision

A people-to-people relationship:“Connecting the peoples of India and Europe, in the framework of a coherent vision and a relationship of

trust.”

Page 24: A STORY between Flanders and India. CHAPTER 1 BEGINNINGS

Indian Challenges

Very young population: more than 65% below 35

But

• Deficient education system

• Deficient health care system

• Increasingly unliveable cities

Page 25: A STORY between Flanders and India. CHAPTER 1 BEGINNINGS

Indian Challenges

• Absence of research culture & teaching-research connection

• Shortage of higher education faculty:

1 million new faculty required for 30% GER

• Distortion of higher education landscape

• Shortage of school teachers: 1 million

Page 26: A STORY between Flanders and India. CHAPTER 1 BEGINNINGS

25% decline in welfare level

Page 27: A STORY between Flanders and India. CHAPTER 1 BEGINNINGS

1/3 population over 65 in most European

countries (EC eurostat)

Page 28: A STORY between Flanders and India. CHAPTER 1 BEGINNINGS

Complementarity

Page 29: A STORY between Flanders and India. CHAPTER 1 BEGINNINGS

The India Platform Vision

A social translation of globalization:“Globalization does not mean that we should

simply outcompete each other; it can also allow us to help to build on each other’s strengths.”

Page 30: A STORY between Flanders and India. CHAPTER 1 BEGINNINGS

The India Platform Vision

• A people-to-people relationship: cultural difference and past.

• Exchange and cooperation in all sectors of society.

• Complementarity of problems and solutions.

• Build a consortium in India of “growing institutions”: invest and grow along with them.

• Approach India together with a common vision and strategy.

Some reflections

• Going to India as individual institutions: negligible impact; ‘branding’ fails; one of many (EHEF).

• A common face and common strategy are needed, minimally at the Flemish level; e.g. Vlaams India Platform.

• Together define mutual opportunities and interests: neither development aid nor ‘they know their own needs’.

• Know your partners!
