The planned opening of foreign universities will foster cultural exchange, expose Indian students to diverse perspectives and promote international understanding, according to Gedam Kamalakar. Foreign university campuses have the potential to attract foreign investment, create job opportunities and stimulate the local economy through increased spending on infrastructure, accommodation and services. Partnerships with foreign universities on joint research projects will enhance knowledge exchange and technological advancements. Nevertheless, the influx of foreign universities can pose a threat to domestic educational institutions by alienating talented students and faculty and exacerbating inequalities in access to quality education. There is hence a danger of cultural imperialism. Indigenous knowledge and traditions may be marginalised due to the dominance of Western educational systems and values. Increasing opportunities to study abroad may also increase brain drain.
