About

• The Ministry of Science & Technology launched the VAIBHAV Fellowship Scheme for the Indian Diaspora abroad in 2023.
• The Fellowship aims at improving the research ecosystem of India’s Higher Educational Institutions by facilitating academic and research collaborations between Indian Institutions and the best institutions in the world through mobility of faculty/researcher from overseas institutions to India. 
• The Scientists on Fellowship would identify an Indian Institution for collaboration and may spend up to two months in a year for a maximum of 3 years.
• The fellows would facilitate an exchange of best practices between the two countries and attempt to address the areas of concern in collaborative research between the two countries.
