UK launches Education Hub in New Delhi to deepen India partnership

The United Kingdom has launched a dedicated UK Education Hub in New Delhi to deepen academic cooperation with India and advance joint goals under the India-UK Vision 2035 framework.

The Hub was inaugurated at the British Council by David Lammy on Feb 18. It is designed as a centralized platform to coordinate engagement between institutions in both countries and align collaboration with India’s National Education Policy and the UK’s International Education Strategy.

Speaking at the launch, David Lammy said, "To build a better future, we must invest in the next generation who will shape it. Expanding access to education will create lasting change. By bringing together governments, universities, and institutions, the UK Education Hub in New Delhi will forge deeper partnerships with India, share expertise, spark innovation, and grow our economies. This demonstrates our shared ambition of turning the UK-India Vision 2035 into a reality."

"Delivering quality education today will change the world of tomorrow, empowering new generations of entrepreneurs, scientists, and leaders who will transform our shared future,” he added.

The Hub will oversee the annual India-UK Education Dialogue and support education-related commitments under Vision 2035.

It will act as a structured interface connecting UK universities with Indian ministries, regulators, and sector bodies to streamline collaboration and information exchange.

Among its functions, the Hub will support the annual bilateral education dialogue, guide UK universities seeking partnerships in India, manage the UK Universities in India Members Programme, advance mutual recognition of qualifications, and facilitate academic and skills missions between the two countries.
