Global Experience Faculty Programme (GEFP) is a new initiative that Banaras Hindu University (BHU) has started. The program's goal is to provide faculty members with the opportunity to work for up to a year at prestigious international universities that are among the top 500 in the world according to THE or QS rankings. It specifically targets educators who, during their academic careers, have had little exposure to international experiences.

The GEFP, which is a component of BHU's Institution of Eminence initiative, provides participants with travel expenses and a monthly consolidated fellowship of $3000 (Rs 2.48 lakh)."Our goal is to facilitate our faculty's growth and development while fostering collaborations with prestigious international institutions to enhance BHU's global outreach and presence," stated Professor Sudhir Kumar Jain, vice-chancellor.

BHU's IoE Coordinator, Professor Sanjay Kumar, emphasized how the GEFP serves to give faculty members vital exposure to global academic practices, which improves their capacity for both teaching and research. This program, which makes it possible to incorporate best practices from the top 500 universities, has the potential to greatly enhance Banaras Hindu University's overall development and caliber.
