University Grants Commission (UGC) Chairman M Jagadesh Kumar has said that India has begun its G20 presidency journey with the University Connect programme by engaging with students of universities across the nation.
"During India's G20 presidency, students of several universities will create awareness about the importance of the G20 presidency and how India can be a role model for the rest of the world through its G20 Presidency of healing, harmony, and hope," Kumar said.
"It is wonderful that India began today its G20 presidency journey with University Connect by engaging with students of universities across the country," he said.
"India formally assumed the G20 presidency on December 1 with a focus on counter-terrorism and unity in tackling global challenges, such as economic slowdown and climate crisis. Students and prominent academics from 75 universities around the nation participated virtually in the G20 University Connect with senior executives, researchers, and academics.
"Our students will also be ambassadors of our country in showcasing to the visiting G20 members the rapid, inclusive developmental progress that India is going through," the UGC Chairman added.
