Indian students learned about the Russian education

More than 10 thousand people visited the XXI exhibition-fair "Russian Education - 2020", held from August 16 to 18 in India. Due to the restrictive measures introduced in connection with the pandemic, it was based on a specially created online platform. This format made it possible to significantly increase the scale of the event and provide access to it for applicants throughout the country.

Representatives of universities spoke about their educational programs and answered questions from future students. In addition to a special series of webinars with the participation of employees of Russian educational organizations, video tours of Russian universities and the cities where they are located were organized for visitors.

This year, 10 Russian universities were presented at the exhibition, including E. A. Wagner Perm State Medical University, Orenburg State Medical University, Mari State University, Moscow Aviation Institute, Southern Federal University, Siberian State Medical University, Novosibirsk State University, Far Eastern Federal University and others.

Online conference, during which experts discussed the prospects for training students from India in Russia in the context of a pandemic was held as part of the event. The main speakers were Deputy of the State Duma of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation Sergey Veremeenko, President of Rus Education, Professor Syed Kamruzzaman, Head of the Representative Office of Rossotrudnichestvo in India Fedor Rozovsky, rectors of Orenburg State Medical University, Ufa State Oil Technical University, representatives of E. A. Wagner Perm State Medical University and Mari State University.

The conference participants shared their experience in developing the infrastructure of educational institutions to ensure a more comfortable stay of foreign students, introducing new English-language programs, working in a pandemic, and also discussed the prospects for the development of interaction between the two states in the field of higher education and the most pressing issues that need to be resolved.

The educational exhibition provided an opportunity for applicants and their parents to communicate directly with university representatives and apply for training online. The event has been organized by the Representative Office of Rossotrudnichestvo in India and the traditional partner of the Russian Center of Science and Culture in New Delhi - the educational company Rus Education, which has been helping Indian citizens to enter Russian universities for over 20 years.

An important role in the study of the Russian language in the online format belongs to digitized textbooks and teaching materials presented on the Presidential Library's portal in the Russian language electronic collection available in the centers of remote access to the information resources of the Presidential Library, located in 30 countries of the world.
