Avinash Sharma reports in Oneindia on a recent decision by the Indian government to bring American academics to teach in various Indian universities. The article quotes the India-US joint statement, issued after a Washington meeting last week, "The President (Obama) welcomed India's proposal to establish the Global Initiative of Academic Networks under which India would invite and host up to 1,000 American academics each year to teach in centrally-recognized Indian universities, at their convenience."
