BJP National President J P Nadda stated that Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), known for high quality education, will set up its campus in seven foreign countries.
Addressing professional and key voters convention at Trishul convention hall, here on Friday, he said IIT campuses are coming up in UK, UAE, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Thailand, Malaysia, and Qatar. So, we are not only imparting quality education in India but also overseas. This is the change India is witnessing now and the Modi-led government was the reason for it, he claimed.
