France to host 30,000 Indian Students by 2030!

In a major boost to Indo-French educational ties, France has unveiled an ambitious plan to welcome 30,000 Indian students by the year 2030 — a move aimed at fostering deeper academic and cultural collaboration. 🇫🇷🤝🇮🇳

🎓 Indians already make up the largest international student group in French Business Schools, with over 8,000 enrolments recorded in the 2023–24 academic year!

This exclusive initiative — described by French Ambassador Thierry Mathou as “Uniquely Indian” — is part of a strategic long-term partnership between the two nations. Notably, this program is not being extended to other countries.
