A key theme of her visit will be how Cambridge and India can work together to address crucial environmental challenges.

In New Delhi, she will be giving a lecture "Cambridge and the environment" at the British Council.

She will sign a memorandum of understanding for future collaboration with Infosys in Bangalore.

In Mumbai, she will visit the Indian Institute of Technology and the University of Mumbai, meet with Tata Sons Ltd with whom a partnership agreement was signed last January, and attend an academic symposium on university-industry links organised jointly with the Confederation of Indian Industry.

The visit will build on the success of her visit last January, “strengthening and celebrating important bonds with alumni, higher education and business, and celebrating the Cambridge India Partnership”, the release said.
