Last year, Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan and his Australian counterpart Jason Clare announced the opening of two campuses of Australian universities at GIFT City in Gujarat's Gandhinagar. This move aligns with the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, which places a strong emphasis on internationalising education. The announcement was made during their visit to the prospective campuses of Wollongong and Deakin Universities at GIFT City. The vice-chancellors of Deakin University and the University of Wollongong emphasised the significance of country-to-country partnerships and highlighted the substantial growth in bilateral relations between India and Australia, even during challenging times such as the COVID-19 pandemic. They also discussed future plans, including the scheduled launch of courses at the Indian campuses.
