India and US have launched the Fulbright – Kalam Climate Fellowship enabling Indian research scholars to work with American institutions in the field of climate change. It will sponsor up to 6 Indian PhD students and post-doctoral researchers to work with US institutions for a period up to one year. The first call for applicants was announced Friday for the fellowship jointly funded by both the governments. Named after late Indian President Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam, the fellowship is part of a commitment made by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and US President Barack Obama to build long-term capacity to address climate change-related issues in both the countries.
