Pune to host Indo-US education conclave

The city will be a first-time host to the three-day long national Indo-US education conclave, which will be held from December 5th to 7th, which is an effort to explore partnership options in higher education between Indian and United States. The event is organised by the Alliance for US India Business (AUSIB) along with State Legislative Leaders Foundation (SLLF), US, and DY Patil University.

"25 state legislators, who are real policy makers for the education budget, will be a part of the 90-member US delegation visiting the city for the conclave. The delegation will also include education leaders from over 20 state universities of the US," said founder and president of AUSIB, Sanjay Puri. The Government of Maharashtra is a partner state for the event which is supported by the Association of Indian Universities (AIU) and Maharashtra University for Health Sciences (MUHS). "The conclave will be an experiment to strike collaborations between universities, benefiting students," Shishir Misra, head, new initiatives, AUSIB, said.
