Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday said his government is focusing on research, learning, and innovation in a big way, a day after QS president Nunzio Quacquarelli lauded the performance improvement in Indian universities.
Indian universities demonstrated the highest performance improvement among all the G20 nations this year, a significant 14 percent year-on-year improvement in their average ranking, Quacquarelli said in a social media post.
Tagging his post, Modi said on X, "This is encouraging to see! Our Government is focussing on research, learning, and innovation in a big way. In the coming times, this emphasis will deepen even further, thus benefitting our Yuva Shakti."
Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) was the highest-ranked university in India in the coveted rankings announced earlier this month by Quacquarelli Symonds (QS), the London-based higher education analytics firm.
The university was ranked in 20th position globally for development studies.
IIM-Ahmedabad figured among the top 25 institutions globally for business and management studies while IIM-Bangalore and IIM-Calcutta were among the top 50.
