Obama-Singh initiative stuck over turf war
NEW DELHI: The Obama-Singh Knowledge Initiative will be used to develop faculty for new IITs. However, OSKI is stuck between the two nations on who will run the show.
While US wants US Educational Foundation for India to do it, University Grants Commission thinks it has the right credentials.
For the first time, both India and US have also started talking about recognising each other's degrees. HRD minister Kapil Sibal expects the announcement of formation of India-US Education Council when President Barack Obama visits India in November, 2010.
However, sources said there were problems at the US end as there was a turf issue between the office of education secretary and the state department."
