Partnerships/International Collaborations opportunity: Banaras Hindu University, India
Banaras Hindu University is the first Indian University established by a great visionary Indian, inspired by nationalist thoughts with the help of donations from the entire country in 1916 when India was still under the foreign rule. That visionary was the great Indian nationalist leader, Pandit Madan Mohan Malaviya.
Today BHU has 05 Institutes in addition to IIT (BHU) on its campus, 16 Faculties and 134 Departments, 2 Schools and a number of research centres. Over 30000 students from all over India and 45 foreign countries are enrolled in various Faculties of the University.
Foreign Linkages:
Banaras Hindu University has an International Centre facilitating 66 collaborations with foreign Institution, apart from many ongoing and completed research projects. Banaras Hindu University hosts over 400 International students across 49 countries around the globe. It has magnificent world-class facilities to host International students/ exchanges and other activities.
