Subscribe in a reader | Subscribe by Email The Know India Programme (KIP) is inviting applications for a three-week stay in Madhya Pradesh and Haryana.
Under the programme, students and young professionals of Indian origin from all over the world, will be able to share views, expectations and experiences with their Indian counterparts in a move to promote better understanding of contemporary India.
Although the cost of the stay in India is covered by the Ministry of Overseas Indian Affairs (MOIA), air travel on economy class to India will be funded by the applicants themselves initially.
The local Indian High Commission will reimburse half of the return airfare after participants return to their home country with proof of purchase and their air tickets.
Youth of Indian origin from 32 countries, including Malaysia, have been invited to apply for this one-in-a-million opportunity.
Applications for the next trip, the 10th KIP visit, will close on Oct 15.
Interested youth (non-resident Indians excepted) are required to submit their names with two photographs by email and send their applications, with supporting documents, by post to the Indian High Commission at 2 Jalan Taman Duta, off Jalan Duta, Kuala Lumpur.
Application forms are available at http://www.cgimelb.org/media/pdf/kip%20form.pdf
Enquiries should be emailed to the MOIA director at dirss@moia.nic.in or the MOIA Undersecretary at usds2@moia.nic.in
