The G20 University Connect Finale will be attended by about 3000 students, faculty members, and Vice Chancellors of the participating Universities at Bharat Mandapam. In addition, students from across the country will also be joining the event Live.
The G20 University Connect initiative was undertaken to build an understanding of India’s G20 Presidency among India’s youth and enhance their participation in the different G20 events. The programme engaged over one lakh students from universities across India.
Initially planned for 75 universities to commemorate India’s 75 years of Independence, the initiative eventually expanded its reach to 101 universities across India.
Several programmes were held across the country under the G-20 University Connect initiative. They witnessed extensive participation from higher education institutions. Further, what initially began as a programme for universities quickly grew to include schools and colleges, reaching an even wider audience.
