The meeting took place against the backdrop of the 60th anniversary of Singapore-India diplomatic relations and was aimed at deepening cooperation in the areas of education, innovation, and skill development.
The meeting was attended by senior institutional leaders, including Prof. Sanjeev Prashar, Director-In-Charge, IIM Raipur; Prof. Rajiv Prakash, Director, IIT Bhilai; Dr. N.V.

The discussions covered a wide spectrum of opportunities for collaboration between the Government of Singapore and the State Government of Chhattisgarh. Chhattisgarh, with its growing industrial base, was highlighted as a potential hub for semiconductor development and related collaborations. Avenues to bring in joint courses with the universities of Singapore and expanding the international student exchange programs were also explored as future areas of cooperation.
The Singaporean representatives expressed willingness to facilitate linkages between Indian institutes and the universities in Singapore, enabling collaborative research, student exchanges, and dual-degree programs. The importance of data centres and digital infrastructure was also underscored as a key enabler for these collaborations.
The representatives of the Government of Chhattisgarh and the Government of Singapore explored possibilities of collaboration between institutions located in Chhattisgarh and Singapore including universities, industries, and policy bodies.
All leaders reiterated their shared vision of creating platforms where Indian and Singaporean institutions could jointly contribute to research, innovation, and sustainable development. By combining India’s innovation-driven educational institutions with Singapore’s expertise in skill-oriented pedagogy and research, the initiative aims to create globally relevant programs that prepare students for the future.
