While international partnerships are good, I hope the government also focuses on strengthening our existing state universities. Many local institutions need infrastructure upgrades and better faculty. Balance is important.

Good initiative, but I hope the benefits reach all sections of society, not just urban elite. Rural students should have equal access to these international opportunities. The government must ensure inclusive growth. 🤞
