  "account": "Several top US universities, including Harvard, New York University (NYU) and Purdue, are reportedly considering establishing a presence in India, according to US Ambassador to India Sergio Gor. Gor mentioned during a recent forum that the demand is there for Indian students to study in the US, and he is working to bring some US institutions to India within the next year. He stated that universities like NYU, Harvard, and Purdue are among those expressing interest in expanding their operations in India. Gor emphasized Washington's commitment to strengthening ties with India and collaborating closely with its young talent, citing partnerships between Indian professionals and major US companies like Google, Microsoft, and Micron as examples of this collaboration. He also noted that while there is a high demand for US visas, the country cannot accommodate everyone, and the enhanced visa screening process now includes examining applicants' online activity, such as posts and statements on social media platforms. Gor highlighted that India also has the authority to determine who can enter its territory and that curbing visa overstays and enhancing security along the US southern border remain key priorities for the Trump administration.",
