White House To Host Convening On Indian Education

Study in US: The event will be held to uplift Indian Education and celebrate Native American Heritage Month.

As an initiative for Native Americans and Strengthening Tribal Colleges and Universities (WHI-NATCU), the White House is all set to host a Convening on Indian Education. The idea is to uplift Indian Education by highlighting students, programs, and educators and to celebrate Native American Heritage Month.

The welcoming remarks will be delivered by the US Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona. The event will feature a panel on topics including professional degree programs, early childhood development education, and promoting Universities and Tribal Colleges. The event will be held at the US Department of Education in Washington DC and it will be livestreamed.

Recently, US Ambassador Eric Garcetti said on X, "In December, we’re celebrating the future! The United States and India share an ambitious vision for a brighter, more sustainable and inclusive future – not just for our countries, but for the world. Follow along this month and learn how the #USIndia partnership is advancing cutting-edge science and technology, combating global health challenges and empowering the next generation of leaders."

United States Embassy Opens Consular Operations

To accommodate Indian applicants requiring in-person visa interviews, the United States Embassy in New Delhi and Consulates in Hyderabad, Kolkata and Mumbai opened consular operations last Saturday.

Mark McGovern, Consul General at the U.S. Embassy in New Delhi said, “This year, we’ve already processed more than one million visas across India, and we are so excited to be here for the fourth ‘Super Saturday.’  But our work isn’t just about the numbers; each visa means a family reunified, a business deal made, a new educational experience, or a tourist visiting America for the first time.”

He said, “The people-to-people ties between the United States and India are stronger than ever, and we certainly understand that so is the demand for visas.  That’s why we’re working overtime to keep the momentum going, even if it means coming in on a Saturday.  Knowing that we can have that kind of impact makes this job so rewarding.”
