Kings College institute in India

Updated on: Monday, April 23, 2012

King’s College London has launched its new institute in India. With the comparative framework offered by the Brazil, China and the upcoming Russia institute, the programmes at the India institute are designed to equip students with the skills and awareness necessary for a successful future in the global economy.

British Foreign Minister William Hague, who inaugurated the newly launched institute, says, “Now is the time to study India, to invest in India and to work with India. The rise of India and other nations is good for the people of those countries; it is good for the world; and it brings immense opportunities for a country like Britain that is able to seize them.”

The Institute is pioneering an interdisciplinary approach to research on contemporary India, with experts from across the fields of social sciences, policy, law, security studies, science and health. Director, Sunil Khilnani, author of The Idea of India, leads the Institute.
