GRANTS TO RESEARCH SCHOLARS

One of the objects of the Foundation is to support doctoral research on agrarian studies and to provide scholarships, particularly to scholars from less-advantaged social and economic backgrounds and from less-advantaged regions and to women. To this end, the Foundation has awarded grants under five different categories in 2003-04 and 2004-05. Notices calling for applications for grants are mailed to social science departments in universities and research institutions all over India . They are also placed on the websites of the International Development Economics Associates (IDEAs) and Macroscan (<www.networkideas.org> and <www.macroscan.com>). Future notices will be posted on this website.
