With a start in the establishment of Australian university campuses in India, both the countries can “advance knowledge, leverage technology for global challenges and create endless opportunities for innovation and entrepreneurship for students,” said Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan in a speech in Melbourne on Wednesday. In his speech at the Australian International Education Conference, Pradhan also said that education is the “fulcrum” of the India-Australia relationship. Pradhan met Australia’s Minister for Education Jason Clare and “explored the possibility of establishing branch campuses of Australian universities in India”, according to a communication from the Ministry of Education.
