According to a media release of the Indian Embassy, Indian External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj launched the portal in New Delhi in India.
ICCR has its own scholarship schemes and also administers a large number of schemes under various bilateral cooperation programmes.
ICCR offers scholarships at undergraduate, post graduate, M. Phil and Ph.D levels, covering a wide range of subjects under Science, Commerce, Humanities, Engineering and Management streams. There is a huge demand for scholarships to study in India, particularly in science and engineering subjects.
In addition to conventional subjects, ICCR offers scholarships for performing arts under Guru-Shishya Parampara. The programme attracts foreign students from all parts of the world, who come to study Indian classical music and dance at prestigious institutes like Kalakshetra, Shriram Bhartiya Kala Kendra, Kathak Kendra, Gandharvamahavidyalaya, and Kerala Kalamandalam.
The portal is an initiative undertaken by the ICCR in coordination with the E-Governance and IT Division of the MEA to move from paper-based admissions to an online scholarship portal.
With the A2A Portal, the systemic needs of implementation structure – from the stage of admissions until the students complete their course and leave the country, including matters related to financial and academic monitoring, will be addressed.
There are 17 scholarship schemes which ICCR administers on behalf of various Divisions of the Ministry of External Affairs and the Ministry of AYUSH. These are important schemes like Special Scholarship for Afghan Nationals, Africa Scholarship Scheme, Mekong-Ganga Cooperation Scholarship Scheme, Border Guard Bangladesh Scholarship Scheme.
