The U.S. Department of State’s Public Diplomacy Section in New Delhi is soliciting proposals for a grant that meets the specifications stated in Section II from legally recognized nonprofit, nongovernmental organizations that comply with U.S. and Indian technical and legal requirements to develop and implement public diplomacy programs.

The program, spanning approximately one year, will consist of classroom sessions conducted at ACND, focusing on space exploration, astronomy, and related topics, followed by field visits to further deepen participants’ understanding of space science and technology.
