Current Affairs - State - Discussion

Maharashtra has taken a significant step toward internationalizing higher education by signing Memorandums of Understanding with the University of York from the UK and the University of Western Australia. These partnerships will lead to the establishment of campuses within the state, offering undergraduate and postgraduate programs starting from the 2026/27 academic year. The initiative is designed to provide Indian students with access to world-class education domestically, reducing the need to go abroad for quality academic programs. This move reinforces Maharashtra’s role in expanding global academic collaboration and creating new educational opportunities within India.
