An Organization of Scholars
Scholars who serve on the Institute’s Board of Trustees, such as the officers and committee members, donate their time. The American headquarters staff works with all aspects of fellowship selection and with individual scholars until their departure for India. Upon their arrival in India, the Delhi staff assumes responsibilty for each scholar and student. The national headquarters of the Institute in India is located in Gurgaon, just outside of New Delhi, with an office in Defence Colony, New Delhi. Regional offices are located in Kolkata and Pune.
