Their support has been instrumental in my professional growth, particularly through the opportunity to deliver a public lecture at the Goethe Institute New Delhi and their efforts to introduce me to key scientific networks in India through the “Plant-environment interactions and their ecological and agricultural consequences” workshop organized in Dapoli, Pune. As an alumnus of the University of Cologne, I plan to build strong academic connection with the institution, especially through the invaluable relationship with the India Office.

"I am thrilled to express my appreciation for the outstanding support and partnership that the University of Cologne's India Office has extended to Symbiosis Centre for European Studies (SCES), Symbiosis International (Deemed University), India. The joint collaboration between our institutions has been instrumental in fostering robust academic and cultural exchanges that have benefitted students and faculty members from both universities.
The collaborative physical and online summer schools, such as the Study India Programmes, Digi Journeys etc., have been a phenomenal platform for students to experience diverse academic and cultural perspectives from Germany and India, Vietnam, and China. Working with Dr Amisha Jain and colleagues from other partner institutions was a delight in delivering interactive and engaging sessions.
The student and faculty exchange programs have also been a great success, providing opportunities for both institutions to share knowledge, research, and ideas. It has allowed for long-lasting partnerships, creating a platform for future collaborations in various fields.
The University of Cologne's India Office has been instrumental in driving this collaboration, and I commend their tireless efforts in ensuring the success of these initiatives. I look forward to continued cooperation and partnership with the University of Cologne and am excited about the potential for further joint initiatives in the future.
Thank you, University of Cologne's India Office, for your valuable support and partnership!"
