Knowledge Creation & Sharing

• An education delegation, "Study-in-Bharat" team comprising of around 25 members from Education Consultants India Limited [EdCIL], along with representatives of 10 key universities in Bharat visited Kampala from 17-22 March 2019. The main purpose of the visit was to conduct an educational fair in Kampala on 18-19 March, 2019, and to promote Indian Higher Education in Uganda. The fair had 500 registrations from prospective Ugandan students. Now ‘Study in Bharat’ has become a regular feature and hundreds of students go to Bharat for study under this programme.
• Dr S. Jaishankar External Affairs Minister inaugurated the first overseas campus of the National Forensic Sciences University (NFSU) in Jinja, Uganda.  EAM also signed a MoU between the Government of India and the Government of Uganda for setting up of a permanent campus of NFSU in Jinja. 

Capacity Building

• Bharat is seen as a destination for quality and affordable education by Ugandans. The Government of India offers scholarships and fellowships to Ugandans from the Government and private sector to enable them to pursue under-graduate, post-graduate and research courses in Bharat. Training courses in highly specialized areas are also conducted. 
• An estimated 1200 Ugandan students are presently studying in Indian universities. Over the years, hundreds of Ugandans have studied in Indian colleges and universities, including many Ugandan Ministers and high- ranking Government officials. An APTECH franchise and ISBAT University in Kampala have brought Indian education even closer to Ugandans.
• Special capacity building courses at SSIFS for 25-30 Ugandan diplomats were held between 11 and 23 June 2023.
