One Window Service Provider for Education in India




Whenever an unknown Sudanese youth smiles at me in the streets of Khartoum and greets me in Hindi language, I know for sure that he has studied in India. More than 30,000 Sudanese have studied in India. At this given point of time there are around 4000 students from Sudan studying in India.
