Parul University strengthens ties with Bhutan by welcoming 300 new students into its healthcare programs, promoting international collaboration and female empowerment in education.
Vadodara, India — Parul University has taken another significant step in strengthening cross-border educational collaboration by welcoming over 300 students from Bhutan into its renowned healthcare and allied programs. This development not only highlights the growing trust in the University’s academic offerings but also reinforces its strong reputation in Bhutan.
Healthcare remains a national priority in Bhutan, with the government heavily investing in the development of a robust pool of skilled medical professionals. Parul University’s practice-driven curriculum directly aligns with this mission, offering students early clinical exposure from the very first year of their program. This is facilitated through the University’s own in-house multispecialty hospital, providing invaluable hands-on training in a real-world healthcare environment.
Offering one of the most affordable fee structures among Indian private universities, Parul University presents a compelling destination for Bhutanese students aspiring to build successful careers in healthcare. With over 400 Bhutanese students already thriving on campus, the arrival of this new cohort further deepens the academic and cultural ties between the University and Bhutan.
The University’s commitment to inclusivity and excellence is reflected in its wide range of scholarships for meritorious and international students, including special provisions for female students. This initiative has led to a notable increase in female enrollment — out of the 300 new Bhutanese students, 181 are female and 117 are male. Parul University remains dedicated to promoting gender equity and empowering women through education.
The newly enrolled students were accompanied by Mr. Prakash Pradhan, a distinguished representative of the Medical Education Commission, Government of Bhutan. His visit marked a pivotal moment in the evolving partnership between Parul University and Bhutan. During his campus tour, Mr. Pradhan met with University officials and reviewed the academic infrastructure and healthcare facilities, gaining first-hand insights into the high standards and international student support systems in place.
“This visit is a testament to our shared commitment to fostering quality healthcare education,” said a University spokesperson. “The engagement with Mr. Pradhan signifies the mutual dedication to building long-term academic relations that benefit students from both nations.”
This growing collaboration between Parul University and Bhutan exemplifies the transformative potential of international education. As the University embarks on this new chapter, it reaffirms its mission to deliver quality education, practical training, and equitable opportunities to students from around the world. Together, Parul University and its Bhutanese partners aim to cultivate the next generation of global healthcare leaders committed to a healthier, stronger, and more equitable future.
