Azim Premji’s interest in elevating the Indian Education System to international standard was never hidden. In order to fulfill this quest, Azim Premji foundation, a non profit organization, has started Azim Premji University (APU) in Karnataka.

 
This non profit university is in the process importing technological support from international universities from America and Europe.
 
Dileep Ranjekar, CEO, of Azim Premji Foundation, said “we are in talks with some foreign universities for collaboration in areas of curriculum development, faculty and teachers’ development. They can bring some world-class knowledge repository of teaching and learning processes. We may also look at them as partners for research exchange. We are primarily looking at some of the top-class Indians teaching or into research in foreign countries.”
 
Karnataka legislative council already passed the Azim Premji University Bill. The Bill is now waiting for the Governor’s approval.
 
This move by the Indian IT will inspire other well established corporate houses to follow suit. And contribute to wards taking Indian education to another level.
