      University Exhange Program


      In order to build connectivity with grass-roots early on, young adults who are growing up overseas could spend their summer vacations in schools in Bengal to learn the local language and culture, while contributing to the economic well-being of the schools. Parents overseas could well afford about $800 to $1000/child during each summer to provide their children such language and culture training while transplanting modern mechanisms of education from overseas. A committee will be set up to study how overseas Bengalis could connect existing schools to improve their facilities and programs.

      In the same spirit, colleges and universities could develop programs to attract young adults and adults for special research programs which non-residents could participate in if well designed and managed, to extend their own reach into the cultural heritage and/or sharpen/apply their knowledge for nourishing their grass-roots. The most significant benefit of such a process could be the informal relationships that will be developed between Bengal's children at home and overseas.
