She will also visit the college in Delhi she attended in the 1960s, when her mother was Burmese ambassador.
Burma is emerging from years of isolation under military rule.
Since November 2010, it has gradually moved to a nominally civilian government, backed by the military, and has implemented economic and political reforms.
Barack Obama will become the first US president to visit Burma when he travels there as part of a short Asian tour later this month.
India initially supported the pro-democracy movement and many Burmese students found refuge there after the military crackdown on protests in 1988.

Burma also has untapped reserves of oil and gas.
