At the launch event, Deputy Chief of Mission Sripriya Ranganathan emphasized the strengthening academic, research, and industrial ties between India and the United States, particularly in critical and emerging technologies.
She highlighted that the MARG series serves as a platform for knowledge exchange, fostering collaboration in fields such as artificial intelligence, semiconductors, biotechnology, cybersecurity, and agricultural technology.
She also urged them to take advantage of Indian government programs like the Scheme for Promotion of Academic and Research Collaboration (SPARC), the Vaishvik Bharatiya Vaigyanik (VAIBHAV) Fellowship program and GYAN to facilitate further cooperation in research, innovation, and educational exchanges.
Leaders from participating Indian universities, including directors and vice-chancellors, welcomed the initiative, stating that it would significantly benefit students and faculty involved in education, research, and skill development in cutting-edge technology sectors.
The MARG series represents a concerted effort to enhance India’s academic and research landscape by leveraging the expertise of its diaspora, strengthening the bridge between Indian and global institutions. It was launched in collaboration with the Ministry of Education of India, the University Grants Commission of India, and the Department of Agricultural Research and Education of India.
