France intends to have 20,000 Indian students study in the country by 2025. This is to mark the beginning of innovation, start-ups, new business and collaboration between India and France. President Modi and President Emmanuel Macron recently met at the Elysee Palace in France to discuss these topics.
According to Statista “Taking a closer look at the numbers, the most represented age group of Indians in France were aged 25 to 54 years. There were around 3,100 thousand Indian children in France and more than 2,500 15 to 24 year olds in 2017. “
A statement made about the meeting mentioned the discussion of collaborative increase of the mobility of the students, professionals and skilled workers. It also mentioned a renewed effort to curtail irregular migration across borders of the both countries.
The statement made writes that “Recognising the benefit of bilateral student mobility, France maintains the objective of 20,000 Indian students by 2025 which will create opportunities for new businesses, start-ups and innovation between the two countries,”
2019 saw 10,000 Indian students decide to enroll in higher studies in France. Indian students were supported and assisted through COVID in 2020 and 2021 according to information from the French embassy website in New Delhi.
Both countries entered a Partnership Agreement on migration and mobility on October 1, 2021 and entirely committed to implementing it.
This agreement focuses on temporary circular migration based on mobility and the emphasis on returning skills to the home country.
Prime Minister Mody has been on a 3-nation tour. Paris with French President Macron was the last meeting of this tour. Germany and Denmark were the other two countries in the tour. The meetings focuses on energy, trade and green technology.
