The Indian Council for Cultural Relations (ICCR) was founded in 1950 by Maulana Abul Kalam Azad, independent India’s first Education Minister. Its objectives are to actively participate in the formulation and implementation of policies and programmes pertaining to India’s external cultural relations; to foster and strengthen cultural relations and mutual understanding between India and other countries; to promote cultural exchanges with other countries and people; and to develop relations with nations.

The programme will be an informal gathering for ICCR alumni members where members will give account of their experiences about the scholarship in India, also showcasing their field of art to others and how the scholarship has affected their professional life and development.

The aim of the event is to create a common forum for those interested in learning in India and provide a possibility to develop the connections and spread the information related to the scholarships.
