Indian Education Fiesta in Colombo, Jaffna

Indian universities, colleges and international schools will gather under one roof in a educational fair shortly to showcase the wide array of opportunities India has to offer in the field of education.

Strong university network, global recognition, quality and competitiveness of education and it's cost effectiveness all contribute to India posing as a popular destination for a Sri Lankan student. Geographical location of the continent no doubt will also add to "home, away from home" feelings to any student.

EdCIL India Limited, that has brought all the establishments under one roof points out that at least 1500 travel to India from the over all of around 10,000 that travel overseas for education, adding that, this is without any marketing attempt by the Indian universities or colleges. EdCIL has been backed by the Indian High Commission in Sri Lanka to organize this education fair to add value and to approve and affirm that these institutes and colleges are indeed accredited and genuine said Indian High Commission in Colombo Education Secretary Dinesh Udenia.

Udenia said that edCIL has been approved by the Colombo mission to hold such an event due its credibility being a Government of India company.

The fair is organized by the Educational Consultants India Limited (EdCIL) and is supported and duly endorsed by the Indian High Commission in Sri Lanka. Lanka Exhibition and Conference Services [LECS], pioneers in organizing similar events here and abroad, will hold the fiesta from May 13 to 15 at the BMICH while it will be held in Jaffna on May 17 and 18 in the Jaffna Library.
