MUMBAI, Mar 12: Reliance Foundation, largest private foundations in the country, plans to set up a university for cutting edge research and innovation as well as nurturing future leaders, musicians, scientists and Olympians, said its founder-chairperson Nita Ambani.
Speaking at the India Today Conclave last evening, she said sports and education are the two pillars on which ‘India tomorrow’ will rise.
With her husband Mukesh Ambani, Reliance Industries Chairman and Managing Director, in the audience, she delivered a talk titled ‘The Great Equaliser: Sports and Education For All’. “Even the world’s best and biggest companies have a finite lifespan. But educational institutions are timeless. They live and breathe and grow in the generations whom they empower,” she said.
And that is why, Reliance Foundation is planning to set up a world-class university, she said.
“A university at the cutting edge of research and innovation. A university that focuses on education and sports, art and culture,” she said without giving a timeline for setting up of the institution.
The university, she said, will collaborate with the top universities around the world and prepare future generations to face the world, with knowledge and skills. (AGENCIES)
