Purdue University strengthens its ties with India through the launch of two key initiatives: the Purdue-India Centre for Education and Engagement and a US-India Centre of Excellence in Semiconductors. These efforts, supported by both governments, aim to foster collaboration in education and technology between the two nations.

Purdue University has unveiled two groundbreaking initiatives aimed at bolstering its educational ties with India.
