“We are going to establish a campus of India's prestigious management institute, IIM Bangalore, in Indonesia. This will greatly benefit the youth across the entire Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) region,” PM Modi said.
The proposed campus is expected to serve not only Indonesian students but also learners from across the ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) region, offering access to globally recognised management education. The initiative forms part of a broader effort by India and Indonesia to deepen collaboration in higher education, business, technology, innovation and research.
The overseas campus will focus on management education, executive programmes, research partnerships and academic exchanges.
The proposal follows discussions involving Indonesia's Higher Education Minister Brian Yuliarto, Indian Ambassador Sandeep Chakravorty and an IIM Bangalore delegation aimed at expanding academic cooperation between the two countries.
