“Both Indian and Jewish cultures prize education as one of our highest values. In the State of Israel – as the embodiment of the renaissance of the Jewish people in their ancestral homeland – education always has, and always will be, of utmost priority. Israelis blessed with an excellent higher education system, with fully three quarters of its universities placing in the top 100 in Asia, and one fourth in the top 150 schools in the world.
