Ramanujan Fellowship (E)

The Science and Engineering Research Board, SERB, under the Department of Science and Technology has instituted the Ramanujan Fellowship for Indian scientists working abroad. It offers brilliant Indian scientists who are working abroad, the chance to return to their roots and continue their research from the Indian shores. Apart from supporting cutting edge scientific research, this scholarship also seeks to plug the brain drain that afflicts Indian scientific fraternity. It is encouraging the return of scientists and continue their research in India. Statistics from the Department of Science and Technology shows that the number of Indian-origin scientists returning to India to take up research jumped to 70% between 2012 and 2017.
