Georgetown : The Government of India has doubled the number of scholarships being offered for undergraduate, post graduate and doctoral studies in Universities and Institutions in India.
A press release issued by the Indian High Commissioner stated that instead of the usual four scholarships, for the academic year 2013-2014, nine are being offered for studies excluding medicine and dentistry. The increase for the current academic year is due to the large number of applications that the Commission has been receiving, the release stated.
The scholarship will be administered by the Indian Council for Cultural Relations (ICCR) under the Government of India’s Commonwealth Scholarship Scheme that encompasses the provision of the awardees with airfare to India. It also covers tuition fee, and stipend, contingent grant, accommodation, and thesis and desertion expenses.
Under the Indian Technical and Economic Cooperation (ITEC) programme, Guyana has been receiving technical assistance in the fields of agriculture, science and technology and culture.
