The Eastern and North Eastern region of India with the exception of Bengal has received little attention from the Medical historians as a prospective area of research. It is important that the development of the region is studied in relation to epidemiology of diseases epidemic, infectious and also chronic, development of public health in urban and rural sectors with special emphasis on women and children, development of institutions of medical and psychiatric care Hospitals and dispensaries and asylums. British penetration into this region from the middle of the eighteenth century saw the development of a new system of health policy and health care which redefined the existing relationship between medical knowledge and colonial power. The Key goal will be to understand the pattern of colonial medical intervention into the region and the response of the indigenous society to medical policies of British as Western medicine and institutional health care slowly created its own space within indigenous society. The result will hopefully be a better understanding of the historical legacy of Western Medicine and Public Health Policy in the development to a total health care system in this region. The project addresses in a historical context the evolution of an institutional public healthcare system in colonial eastern India.

Unless Indian Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) make Curriculum Internationalisation (CI) their priority, 97%+ of Indian students, who cannot benefit from international mobility schemes, will be continuously failed by the system–they will not be ready to work & live in our increasingly globalised world.To create institution-wide thriving cultures of Internationalisation-FOR-ALL & help every student become a global professional and citizen, RISHII Partners will work on(1) Strategic Planning for CI &(2) Continuous Professional Development (CPD) for CI.RISHII will create and support Indian Partners in adopting procedures, tools, human recourse, training materials and procedures necessary to reach the Internationalisation-FOR-ALL goals.14 Indian and 5 EU Partners will jointly achieve the following:1. develop Continuous CI Plans for each Indian Partner2. offer face-to-face CPD activities focused on CI through introducing competence-based student-centred approach to a high number of academic and non-academic staff in each Indian Partner3. ensure a learning-by-doing training for Institutional Internationalisation Teams, who will become CI Champions capable of running CI CPD activities after the project lifetime4. empower Indian project participants to create Online Resources that will benefit all Indian academics, as well as Global Higher Education Community5. hold National Dissemination Events to reach Indian HEIs beyond the consortium.Summary of expected results:* 14 Strategic CI Plans developed,* 90 persons formed as CI Champions capable of running CI CPD activities,* 536 CI Workshops run by Indian project participants,* 10,000+ Indian academic & non-academic staff upskilled thanks to RISHII CI Workshops* 14 Online Resources on Curriculum Internationalisation and Stronger Collaboration among Faculty and International Relation Offices launched* 8 National Dissemination Events on CI held throughout India* Over 2 million Indian Students benefited
