During his recent visit to Paris, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and French President Emmanuel Macron expressed hope that the number of Indian students in France will rise to 10,000 by 2025. This initiative is part of broader efforts to strengthen educational ties between the two countries, with a focus on providing opportunities for Indian students to study in prestigious French institutions. With schemes like the International Classes and Young Professionals Scheme, both leaders aim to enhance academic exchange, fostering deeper cultural and professional connections between India and France in the coming years.
