In 2005, spearheaded by the Prime Minister of India at the time, the Indian Council for Cultural Relations (ICCR) instituted an annual scholarship program initially comprising 500 scholarships, which was subsequently expanded to 1000, for Afghan nationals. This initiative aimed at fostering a sovereign, stable, and flourishing Afghanistan while promoting regional security and stability by facilitating undergraduate, postgraduate, and doctoral studies at prominent Indian Universities and Institutions.
In a bid to continue this vital assistance to Afghanistan, it has been resolved that starting from the academic year 2023-24, the ICCR will offer 1000 scholarships to Afghan nationals to pursue online undergraduate and postgraduate courses through the e-VB platform.
