Telangana’s Education Minister P. Sabitha Indra Reddy and her counterpart from UK’s Wales, Kirsty Williams MS, signed an MoU to further bilateral research and education exchange between both the entities.
The MoU will facilitate the development of collaborative and mutually beneficial programmes in Telangana and contribute to increased research and social linkages in the field of higher education between the two sides.
The MoU is a result of longstanding collaboration between the Telangana government and the UK.

In October 2018, British Council South India, and the Telangana government, signed an MoU on strengthening education and cultural cooperation in Telangana by creating opportunities for young people in the state.

As an outcome of the state MoU and the VC delegation, the Welsh government and the Telangana State Higher Education Council, are now moving forward, to ensure that the both the higher education teams work on deepening and enhancing the existing relationship and work on mutually beneficial areas of interest in the field of education.
