July 1, 2022: The Ministry of External Affairs, Government of India, chose Amity University Online as the first and largest private institution to participate in the prestigious Pan African e-Network Project. The Indian government has awarded 15,000 scholarships through the E-Vidyabharti Project for African students and professionals to enrol in online courses offered by prestigious Indian universities in cutting-edge fields.

"Amity University is a firm believer in the role of education in nation-building and fostering economic progress," said Mr. Ajit Chauhan, Chairman of Amity University Online. The optimum time to pick up new talents and widen one's horizons of knowledge is now in order to prepare for the challenges of the post-Covid era. We have been able to close the digital divide by utilising cutting-edge e-technologies, which also allow students to study at home with professors from prestigious overseas universities.

The launch webinar was graced by Shri Sevala Naik Mude, Indian Foreign Service Officer, Joint Secretary, Central & West Africa, Ministry of External Affairs along with the Dr. Garika Tejeswar, Indian Foreign Service Officer, Under Secretary, Central & West Africa, Ministry of External Affairs.

The project, which intends to prepare African youth to confront the challenges of the information economy of the twenty-first century, marks an important turning point in the engagement with Africa. One of the main contributors among the participating Indian universities that seeks to provide students in Africa with an education that meets international standards is Amity University Online.
