About the Organisation

Opportunity Description

As the global power axis shifts from Pacific-Atlantic to Indo-Pacific, India is today evolving as a major power with a significant voice on global issues. At this critical juncture, young scholars, academicians and professionals around the world are keen to better understand the important features of India’s public and foreign policy.

In response to this strong global interest, India Foundation is proud to announce the second edition of Kautilya Fellows Programme (KFP) to be held from January 26-February 3, 2020.

It will also include field visits to the election campaigning which will precede the Delhi state assembly elections next year. The curriculum of KFP is well rounded to cover major thematic issues and strategic bilateral relationships in India’s foreign policy, understand India’s public institutions and their role in shaping India’s political economy and society.

This event will bring together as participants, researchers, academicians and enthusiasts from across India, India’s neighbouring countries and from key partner nations.

These sessions will be addressed by senior practitioners and thought leaders including officials of the government, national leaders, experienced diplomats, domain-specialists and ambassadors of several countries.
