India and United States have launched the Fulbright &ndash Kalam Climate Fellowship enabling Indian research scholars to work with American institutions in the field of climate change.
It will sponsor up to 6 Indian PhD students and post-doctoral researchers to work with US institutions for a period up to one year.
The fellowship has been named after late Indian President Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam. It was launched as part of a commitment made by US President Barack Obama and Prime Minister Narendra Modi to build long-term capacity to address climate change-related issues in both the countries.
It will be operated by the binational US-India Educational Foundation (USIEF) under the umbrella of the prestigious Fulbright programme. It will be jointly funded by both the governments.
