The event was graced by Gloria Berbena, Minister Counselor for Public Diplomacy at the US mission to India, who delivered a keynote address underscoring the importance of academic exchange and internationalization.

During the launch event, Berbena emphasized the ongoing efforts of the US Embassy to support academic excellence and build stronger educational ties between the United States and India.

There are numerous Indian students already pursuing their studies in the United States, and we are eager to increase that number through such collaborative initiatives.’

The new fellowship program at Chandigarh University aims to provide Indian students with opportunities for advanced research, academic growth, and international exposure. By offering financial support and academic resources, the program is designed to help students achieve their academic goals and contribute to their respective fields of study.

The launch of the fellowship program aligns with the US Embassy’s broader objectives of enhancing global academic collaboration and fostering a diverse and inclusive academic environment. By supporting such initiatives, the US aims to contribute to the professional development of students and promote cross-cultural understanding.

As the program gets underway, both Chandigarh University and the US Embassy anticipate that it will pave the way for increased academic interactions and provide valuable opportunities for Indian students to engage with global academic communities.
