The French Ambassador to India, Francois Richier, is on a three-day visit to Bihar from December 2. Looking to increase Indo-French participation in education, science and culture, the French Ambassador to India, Francois Richier, has made over 26 trips to 14 different cities across India since January this year.
Ambassador Richier will be in Bihar till December 4. From touring the site of the upcoming Nalanda International University with the university vice chancellor, Gopa Sabharwal, to meeting with students and faculty members at the National Institute of Technology in Patna, the Ambassador is hopeful that his meetings and interactions particularly in the field of academics will help increase Indian student and researcher numbers in France.
"We already have over 2,600 Indians studying in France and are keen to attract more such talent in the future and strengthen Indo-France partnerships in the field of education and research. Paris was voted as the world's best student city second year in a row by QS last month. So there are certainly plenty of excellent opportunities, support and facilities available for Indian academics and students in France," says Ambassador Richier, who will also be meeting with Bihar Chief Minister, Nitish Kumar during his trip to discuss areas of economic and political cooperation.
The French Ambassador will also engage with the cultural and academic community in Patna and exchange with scientific research institutes like the National Institute of Technology based in Patna on December 4.
Despite a packed schedule, the ambassador has set aside some time for sightseeing and will be visiting the Mahabodhi Temple at Bodh Gaya along with representatives of the Mahavira society that preserves this world heritage site.
