The Prime Minister Narendra Modi interacted with the first batch of students from the IIT Delhi–Abu Dhabi Campus. The PM is on a two-day visit to the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

The opening of a campus of the IIT Delhi in the UAE was envisioned by the leadership of the countries in February 2022. The project, a joint collaboration between the Indian Institute of Technology Delhi (IIT-D) and Abu Dhabi Department of Education & Knowledge (ADEK), an official statement said, aims to provide quality higher education opportunities to students globally.

It also seeks to foster partnerships between the two countries in the fields of next generation technology, research and innovation. The first academic program – a Masters in Energy Transition and Sustainability – started this January.
