The Ambassador of India met with Prof. Univ. Dr. Cezar Ionuț Spînu, Rector of the University of Craiova, along with members of the academic community, for a meaningful exchange focused on strengthening academic ties between India and Romania.
The meeting also celebrated the special recognition accorded to Dr. Achyuta Samanta, Founder of the Kalinga Institute of Industrial Technology (KIIT) and the KISS Foundation, whose tireless contributions to education and social development have earned widespread admiration both in India and internationally. The honour conferred by the University of Craiova stands as a fitting tribute to Dr. Samanta's lifelong commitment to transforming lives through education.
Discussions during the engagement centred on strengthening India-Romania academic cooperation and fostering closer institutional engagement between universities in both countries. The occasion underscored the growing recognition of India's educational institutions and leaders on the international stage, and the increasing interest within Romanian academic circles in building lasting partnerships with India.
