QUAD INFRASTRUCTURE FELLOWSHIPS

India is committed to providing 500 training opportunities for in-person training of government professionals of Indo-Pacific countries on infrastructure-related courses over 2023-2027.

These opportunities are provided under the programme of Quad Infrastructure Fellowship (QIF) administered by MEA. The training opportunities are provided at eminent Indian institutes.

The first call for fellowship opportunities under QIF provided training opportunities at institutions like IIT Roorkee and IIM Indore. More than 100 scholarships from Indo-Pacific countries were utilised as part of this call.

For the current call, QIF opportunities are being available through the following courses at India’s flagship infra & logistics university—the Gati Shakti Vishwavidyalaya (https://gsv.ac.in/). These programmes will provide a blend of class room and experiential teaching. Efforts have been made to ensure that each programme not only provides deep insights into India’s flagship development schemes and governance models in the domain of infrastructure, but also exposes the participants to the cultural vibrancy that is unique to India.

Interested applicants may get in touch with their respective Indian embassy to get further details and apply for these courses.
