Prof Sachdeva informed Governor that there are about 80 universities in Spain, out of which 45 are government universities and the rest are private universities. These universities have very good world rankings.

He said that during the visit, an MoU was signed with the CRUE and Association of Indian Universities (AIU). CRUE is an association of Rectors equivalent to the post of Vice Chancellor in Indian universities.
