I would like to extend my gratitude for the courtesy meeting I had with you on 23 September 2022.
In the said courtesy call, we had the opportunity to discuss how we can strengthen the bilateral relations between India and the Philippines in the area of academic/educational field and people-to-people exchange.
I’m glad to inform you that the ASEAN-India Research Training Fellowship (AIRTF) program under the aegis of Department of Science & Technology (DST), Ministry of Science and Technology, Government of India are now accepting applications.
