Indian Council of Cultural Relations (ICCR)

Junior Fellowship Program and Academic Visitors Program

The Indian Council of Cultural Relations (ICCR), has launched two new schemes entitled Junior Fellowship Program and Academic Visitors Program.

The Junior Fellowship scheme has been crafted keeping in view the keen interest among Ph.D. and Post Doctoral Research students abroad to visit India for research. The scheme provides for an allowance of US $ 1000 per month for Ph.D./Post Doctoral research scholars wishing to do field work for research in India, in connection with their existing projects. They would also be eligible for international air fares by economy class. Under the Academic Visitors Program, the ICCR would invite academicians to India for about a week to ten days and would provide for an economy class air ticket. Local hospitality and their program in India would be arranged by the ICCR.

While the Embassy would forward the names in respect of Israel, the list of research fellows/academicians would be finalized by a search committee formed by the Government of India.

Detailed curriculum-vitae of the proposed fellows/academicians, their statement of interest/plan of activities during their stay in India as well as proposed duration of visit, could be sent to:
