ICCR to launch scholarship for study of Indian culture abroad

The Indian Council for Cultural Relations (ICCR) plans to offer scholarships for students interested in studying Indian languages, cultures and Indology at universities abroad. The move is intended to increase India’s cultural footprint and promote access to courses not available in India. The scholarships will be available to students of any nationality. ICCR also plans to host scholars from over 13 countries for a 10-day programme and create a digital archive and museum to showcase its history.
