Hope they include more affordable fee structures for international students. Many Indian middle-class families struggle with education costs abroad. Would love to see scholarship opportunities for deserving students.

The Technology Park project sounds interesting. Linking research to actual economic needs is what makes education relevant. Hope they create opportunities for research collaborations with Indian institutions too.
