Celebrating the 10th Anniversary of IIE’s New Delhi Office
IIE’s International office in New Delhi recently marked its 10th anniversary with a roundtable on internationalization in higher education, followed by a dinner for local stakeholders who have been touched by the programs IIE develops and administer from an India base. At this event IIE also released "Ten Years—Ten Stories," featuring remarkable fellows and participants from India. Representing the length and breadth of India, these stories highlight the sheer determination, passion, and extraordinary desire of ordinary individuals to be the change that they wish to see in the world.

IIE President Allan Goodman remarks about the rapid, and peculiar, growth of India and how the higher education sector is responding. "Within two decades, more than 140 million people in India will be college age—greater than any other country," writes Goodman. "If the government is to meet its target to enhance gross enrolment ratio in higher education by 30 percent by 2020, some 14 million seats in university will have to be created."
