Many travelers in their quest for knowledge visited India in ancient past, many come here just to see places and stayed for rest of their lives, studying Indian culture and tradition and subjects like mathematics, medicine and social sciences. Chinese traveler Fahiyan was one among them, whose journey gets mention in Indian schools curricula.

Europeans mainly preferred visiting India for business purposes. During European reign children of many administrators studied in India and left their mark in the respective fields.

The education ministry of government of India is responsible for administering education at all level; foreign people are welcome by Indian government. Providing visa for study to foreign candidates is the responsibility of the government.

The education ministry bestows responsibility of providing higher education on University Grants Commission – an Apex body.
