Last month, universities from Ireland participated in the Education in Ireland fairs in New Delhi, Pune, Chennai and Bangalore. These fairs promote Irish higher education institutes in India. Patrick O’ Riordan, Enterprise Ireland—Director India/South Asia Commercial Section, Embassy of Ireland, explains Vikram Chaudhary of The Financial Express how Ireland has made huge advances in making its education system more open to the brightest and best young Indian minds. …
