Economy, Science & Technology, And Environment: The Three New Pillars Of Vietnam – India Cooperation

The Indo-Pacific region continues to be the focal point of global growth dynamics and strategic competition, and relations between Vietnam and India are facing new opportunities to develop in a deeper, more substantive, and more sustainable manner. Building on the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership established in 2016, cooperation in the fields of economy, science and technology, and environment has increasingly been identified by both sides as key pillars.

 

In 2024, the two sides adopted an Action Plan to implement the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership for the 2024-2028 period. This document not only consolidates traditional areas of cooperation but also expands into new domains such as science and technology, innovation, digital transformation, energy and sustainable development.

 

Economy continues to be a bright spot in bilateral cooperation

Over the past decade, Vietnam-India economic cooperation has recorded significant positive developments. Bilateral trade turnover has maintained steady growth, increasing from over USD 14 billion in 2023 to nearly USD 16.5 billion in 2025, reflecting the increasingly close integration between the two dynamic Asian economies.

 

The structure of two-way trade has increasingly demonstrated complementarity. Vietnam has strengthened its exports of electronics, machinery, processed agricultural products, wood, and seafood, while India serves as an important supplier of steel, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and textiles to Vietnam.

 

Amid the ongoing restructuring of global supply chains, both Vietnam and India are intensifying efforts to diversify their partners and reduce dependency risks. This creates significant room for the two countries to promote supply chain linkages in areas such as processing and manufacturing industries, supporting industries, logistics, and high-tech agriculture. Vietnam, with its strategic location in Southeast Asia, can serve as a gateway for Indian enterprises to expand their presence deeper into ASEAN, while India represents a vast market with rapidly increasing consumer demand.

 

Science and technology: a new driver for deeper cooperation

Scientific and technological cooperation has seen remarkable development recently, gradually shifting from exchanges to more substantive collaboration, tied to specific products and developmental needs. Priority areas of cooperation include information technology, biotechnology, clean energy, and digital transformation.

 

Several representative projects, such as the Satellite Data Receiving Station and Satellite Image Processing Center, the Vietnam-India Nuclear Science Center (Da Lat), the Army Software Park (Nha Trang), and the Center of Excellence in Software Development and Training (CESDT), have been contributing to enhancing Vietnam’s technological capacity. Notably, the Indian Technical and Economic Cooperation (ITEC) program continues to be an effective channel for human resource training, helping Vietnamese officials and experts access modern management knowledge and experience.

 

Against the backdrop of the vigorous Fourth Industrial Revolution, the potential for cooperation between the two countries remains vast. The two sides can expand their cooperation into emerging areas such as Artificial Intelligence, semiconductors, cybersecurity, fintech, and biotechnology, aiming for the goals of co-development and co-innovation. 

 

Environmental cooperation and sustainable development are gradually expanding

In the context of increasingly complex climate change, environmental cooperation between Vietnam and India is becoming an important component of the bilateral agenda. Areas such as renewable energy, water resource management, circular economy, and disaster-resilient infrastructure are receiving growing attention and promotion from both sides.

 

Cooperation agreements in marine science, along with Quick Impact Projects (QIPs) supporting communities, such as clean water supply, drought mitigation, and saline intrusion prevention in the Mekong Delta, have delivered practical results. Vietnam’s participation in the Coalition for Disaster Resilient Infrastructure (CDRI), initiated by India, also opens up opportunities to strengthen cooperation in sustainable infrastructure and climate change adaptation.

 

In the coming period, areas encompassing solar energy, energy storage, waste management, marine pollution monitoring, and early warning systems for natural disasters are considered promising directions for cooperation.

 

Prospects for cooperation

The prospects for cooperation in the coming period are assessed as positive. With the economic and scientific-technological complementarity, along with strong political will from both sides, Vietnam-India relations have many favorable conditions to grow more strongly, particularly in areas such as the digital economy, green economy, innovation.

 

Orientations for promoting cooperation in the coming period

With a foundation of excellent relations and significant room for cooperation, the two countries have the basis to elevate the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership to a new height, making it increasingly substantive and effective in the new phase, particularly in the context of the two countries heading towards new high-level engagements with the state visit of General Secretary and President To Lam to India in May 2026.

 

To effectively capitalize on opportunities, both sides need to continue maintaining high-level exchanges, intergovernmental mechanisms and specialized dialogues, and further translate strategic commitments into cooperation programs and projects with clear roadmaps and resources.

 

In the economic field, efforts should be intensified to remove trade barriers, improve logistics connectivity, and promote the review and upgrading of the ASEAN – India Trade in Goods Agreement (AITIGA); strengthen the development of large-scale investment projects in priority areas such as pharmaceuticals, the marine economy, renewable energy, and supporting industries.

 

In the field of science and technology, establishing joint research cooperation mechanisms, strengthening linkages between research institutes, universities, enterprises, as well as promoting expert exchanges, technology transfer, and human resource training will play an important role.

 

In the environmental field, efforts should be directed toward building a comprehensive green cooperation framework, focusing on water management, marine science, plastic pollution reduction, clean energy, and disaster-resilient infrastructure, while also effectively leveraging regional initiatives such as the CDRI.

Sudha Reddy Set to Represent India at the Global Stage of 2026 Met Gala

The countdown to the first Monday in May has begun, and while the Met Gala guest list is famously kept under lock and key, there is a special reason for Hyderabad to be excited. Local philanthropist and business leader Sudha Reddy is reportedly heading back to the red carpet for fashion’s biggest night.

 

From the heart of Hyderabad to the steps of the Met – carrying the legacy of Indian couture in every stitch

 

This year, the gala draws inspiration from the Costume Art exhibition, which highlights 5,000 years of style through 400 unique objects. With a dress code of Fashion Is Art, guests are challenged to treat their attire as an embodied masterpiece, drawing inspiration from the long-standing relationship between the dressed body and the world of art.

 

Reddy is known for using her global platform to highlight Indian culture. In the past, she has worn stunning designs by Falguni Shane Peacock and Tarun Tahiliani. This year, the theme is “Fashion Is Art,” and insiders say she is looking to collaborate with Indian icons like Sabyasachi Mukherjee or Manish Malhotra.

 

“Her goal is always to showcase the beauty of Indian textiles and jewelry,” says a source close to Reddy. “This isn’t just about a party; it’s about making sure Indian craftsmanship is seen by the entire world.”
 

Reddy’s trip to New York follows a busy year representing India at major events, including the Paris Olympics, the Cannes Film Festival, and the White House Correspondents’ Dinner. When she isn’t on the red carpet, she is a director at Megha Engineering and Infrastructures Limited (MEIL) and heads the Sudha Reddy Foundation on charitable projects.
 

The gala, set for Monday, May 4, 2026, will be one of the most star-studded in history. This year’s co-chairs include Beyoncé, Nicole Kidman, and Venus Williams, with Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez Bezos serving as lead sponsors.

 

Reddy will join roughly 450 global stars, including Sabrina Carpenter and Lisa, to celebrate the relationship between clothing and art. As the world watches the famous steps of the Met, Hyderabad will be watching one of its own take her place among the global elite.

Chandigarh University Student Sarvesh Gupta Tops IIT JAM 2026 (Physics) Exam with All India Rank 1

  • Chandigarh University Student Sarvesh Gupta Qualifies 3 National-Level Exams, Tops IIT JAM Physics, Clears TIFR GS & INAT 2026

  • Aspiring Scientist, CU Student Sarvesh Gupta to Pursue an Integrated Ph.D. in Theoretical Physics at TIFR Mumbai

  • Stick to Fixed Routine with Clear Focus, Determination and Discipline Pay Off, says Chandigarh University’s Sarvesh Gupta Who Bagged AIR 1 in IIT JAM 2026 Physics

 

In remarkable display of academic brilliance, a Chandigarh University student, Sarvesh Gupta, has made history by securing All India Rank (AIR) 1 in IIT JAM 2026 (Physics), one of India’s most competitive postgraduate entrance examinations in which over 12,000 candidates appeared for admission to Master of Science, Ph D and other post-graduate programs at 22 Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) and Indian Institute of Science (IISc).

 

Chandigarh University Vice Chancellor & other Officials felicitating Sarvesh Gupta for topping IIT JAM 2026 (Physics) Exam with All India Rank 1

 

Reflecting exceptional conceptual mastery in Physics, Sarvesh Gupta – a final-year student of B Sc (Hons.) Physics program at Chandigarh University who hails from Nepal – also qualified two other prestigious national-level examinations including Tata Institute of Fundamental Research Graduate School (TIFR GS) exam which draws 20,000 to 25,000 applicants and IUCAA National Admission Test (INAT-2026) conducted by Inter-University Centre for Astronomy and Astrophysics (IUCAA), Pune for M Sc (Physics with Astrophysics) programme admissions-2026.

 

“I am really pleased to have cleared all these three national level competitive examinations. But since I want to do research in Theoratical Physics and become a scientist, I have opted for Integrated Ph.D. (I-Ph.D.) programme in Theoretical Physics from Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, Mumbai for which 22 students have been selected. As a Chandigarh University student, I had the opportunity to visit TIFR Mumbai for a Ideathon competition through the IEEE Student Chapter at CU where we got the 1st prize. I saw the research labs and infrastructure there during this visit, so it’s dream come true for me to get an opportunity to study at TIFR. Students receive a monthly fellowship of Rs 25,000 for the first year and the fellowship is enhanced to Rs 37,000 per month (further raised to Rs 42,000 after registration for PhD) at the end of the first year, upon satisfactory performance under TIFR GS,”.

 

Joined CU’s B Sc (Hons) Physics program in 2023

Son of a government school teacher father and homemaker mother in Nepal, Sarvesh’s academic journey at Chandigarh University began in 2023 when he took admission in B Sc (Hons) Physics program after completing his Class XII education at Budhanilkantha School in Kathmandu.

 

“When I was exploring options for higher education after Class XII, one of my cousin brothers, who had studied mechanical engineering at Chandigarh University, suggested me to take admission at CU for world-class quality education. Then I did some research about the CU and really liked everything being offered here. As CU also provides scholarships to meritorious students to pursue our academic dreams and goals, it was an easy decision for me to take admission at Chandigarh University. I got 50 % scholarship at CU which made my education very affordable for my parents,” Sarvesh, a resident of Vishnupura village in Nepal’s Lumbini who has three siblings (two sisters and a brother), said.

 

CU’s Learning Environment & Support to Excel in Academics

On his time at Chandigarh University, Sarvesh said, “I have always been a physics student with a deep curiosity about how the universe works — and more importantly, how the ideas behind it evolved. But my vision cleared after coming to Chandigarh University. Professors in our department are very approachable and we can reach out to them for any assistance —whether it’s a doubt, a discussion, or even if you need personal guidance—not just regarding academics. The research labs and libraries are also excellent at Chandigarh University. This fostered an environment where I could focus on my studies and concentrate on my goals. I knew there was always someone there to assist me with whatever came up, the Chandigarh University provided me great environment and support to excel in academics and pursue my dreams.”

 

“In fact, it’s my teachers here who motivated me to prepare for competitive examinations and provided the right guidance and all help for competitive test preparations. My teacher went extra mile for helping in clearing the all three competitive examinations by arranging even mock interview sessions which led to a significant improvement in my performance. So I had interest in physics, but I needed specific guidance for pursuing research. This is the kind of direction one ideally needs to find their path was somewhat lacking, but this is something I found here at Chandigarh University,” he added.

 

Preparation Strategy: Stick to Fixed Routine

“When preparing for competitive examinations, one need to adhere to a strict, fixed routine in order to avoid distractions. I confined my daily routine into manageable time slots for studies. For instance, I would wake up in the morning and head straight to the gym. After an hour-long workout, I would return and attend a few lectures for about an hour while sitting comfortably. Then I will get ready for classes at the University. Once back from University, my priority was to practice questions for about one-and-half-hour or however much time I could spare solely to solving practice problems. After that, I would do whatever I felt like doing—watching videos, hanging out with friends, or just chatting. My roommates and I used to talk the most during our meals. In fact, we would often spend an hour and a half to two hours just eating—chatting away, watching videos, or doing whatever else came to mind. So, while distractions were certainly there, they were successfully managed because I stuck to my schedule. I studied during my designated study hours, and then, during the time allotted for leisure, I simply relaxed and enjoyed myself,”.

 

World-Class Quality Education Across Streams

Congratulating Sarvesh Gupta for his exceptional achievement, Senior Managing Director, Chandigarh University, Deepinder Singh Sandhu said, “Demonstrating exceptional conceptual mastery in Physics Sarvesh Gupta secured All India Rank 1 in IIT JAM 2026 among thousands of aspirants nationwide. As Physics is one of the most sought-after subjects in this exam, the achievement reflects his dedication, perseverance and commitment to academic excellence. Sarvesh’s success also highlights the research-oriented academic environment at Chandigarh University which has led to six students from CU’s Physics department qualifying IIT JAM 2026. This outstanding accomplishment shows the learning environment nurtured at Chandigarh University to shape the path of our students, support their ambitions, and empower them to achieve incredible milestones with focused learning and expert mentorship.”

 

“Chandigarh University is providing world-class education by providing scientifically designed and industry-collaborative progams to our students. Chandigarh University’s global rankings are testament of the quality of our education across streams, be it science, engineering, business management or humanities. Chandigarh University has yet again continued its remarkable rise in the QS World University Rankings by Subjects 2026 by securing a place among world’s top 300 Universities in three key subjects including Computer Science and Information Systems, Electrical-Electronics Engineering and Mechanical, Aeronautical and Manufacturing Engineering. By securing Rankings in 11 Subjects in the QS World University Rankings by Subjects-2026, Chandigarh University now rank among world’s top 1 % universities. As a research-intensive university, Chandigarh University fosters innovation and allotted a budget of Rs 15 crore this year for research-intensive education of its students. Chandigarh University boasts over 17000 research publications and over 5000 patents filed by students and faculty. The university supports innovation through 30 industry-sponsored advanced research labs and 32 Centers of Excellence (COEs) partnered with companies like Microsoft, Cisco, Hyundai, Tech Mahindra, Capgemini, and IBM for providing hands-on training to our students which make them future ready.”

Dudigital Global Limited Secures CPV Services Contract from Embassy of India, Kuwait

Dudigital Global Limited today announced that it has been awarded the contract for outsourcing of Consular, Passport and Visa services by the Embassy of India, Kuwait, following a two-stage competitive bidding process. The contract is valid for a period of three years, providing strong visibility on recurring revenues. This development strengthens the Company’s growing presence in the Middle East and reinforces its position as a trusted partner for government outsourcing engagements.

Under the contract, the Company will deliver a comprehensive suite of consular services including passport issuance, renewal and reissue, visa processing and related services, OCI Overseas Citizen of India services, Police Clearance Certificates (PCC), Surrender Certificates (SC), Global Entry Programme (GEP) verification, and document attestation and apostille services, supported by end-to-end digital application management and applicant support.

 

Kuwait Opportunity – Scale and Market Potential

Kuwait represents one of the most significant and high-volume markets for Indian consular services globally. Indians form the largest expatriate community in the country, with a population of over one million and growing steadily.

 

The Indian community accounts for approximately 21% of Kuwait’s total population and around 30% of its workforce, with a significant presence across both skilled professionals and domestic segments. This drives steady demand for passport renewals, visa applications, document attestations and related consular requirements, resulting in a stable and predictable annuity like revenue stream for company.

EasyShiksha Empowers Working Professionals to Upgrade Skills and Unlock High-Paying Opportunities

As artificial intelligence continues to reshape industries and redefine job roles, working professionals across sectors are facing increasing pressure to upgrade their skills to remain competitive. Routine roles are being automated, while demand is rising for professionals with strong digital, analytical, and leadership capabilities.
