The Embassy of India in Washington DC, in collaboration with the Ministry of Education and the University Grants Commission of India, has launched a virtual mentoring initiative aimed at connecting Indian university students and researchers with top Indian-origin academicians from prestigious U.S. universities.
Titled 'MARG' (Mentoring for Academic Excellence and Research Guidance), the series is designed to provide students, particularly from smaller cities and towns in India, access to expert guidance and exposure to the latest developments in various academic fields.
The initial round of the MARG series will feature faculty from renowned institutions such as Stanford University, Purdue University, the University of Maryland, and George Mason University, who will mentor Indian students and researchers.
According to a statement from the Indian Embassy, the objective is to offer knowledge, career advice, skills training, and research opportunities to Indian students by leveraging the expertise of Indian-origin professors in the U.S.
Deputy chief of mission ambassador Sripriya Ranganathan, speaking at the inaugural session, emphasized India's growing academic, research, and industrial ecosystem, particularly in critical and emerging technologies such as semiconductors, artificial intelligence, high-performance computing, quantum science, bioengineering, and clean energy.
She highlighted the importance of U.S.-India academic and research partnerships, noting that this initiative is a key step in strengthening ties between the two countries in these crucial sectors.
"Through this initiative, we hope to connect students of Indian universities, especially those in the smaller cities and towns, with top U.S. universities," the Embassy stated. "The objective is to give Indian students and researchers exposure to the latest developments in their fields of study, as well as knowledge, career guidance, and research opportunities from relevant experts across the U.S."
Indian university leaders participating in the series expressed optimism that the sessions would greatly benefit students and faculty in advancing education, research, and skills development, particularly in the fields of critical technology.
The Embassy acknowledged the contributions of the Indian diaspora in the U.S. and expressed gratitude for their ongoing partnership, aiming to further expand academic linkages between India and the U.S. through this collaboration.
