“Chevening offers a unique and exciting opportunity for the best minds in India to study in the UK, paid for by the British Government. This programme is designed both to develop future leaders and to strengthen the UK-India Living Bridge, helping us to share the best of what our two countries have to offer. I encourage any ambitious young leader and experienced professional who wants to study in the UK to apply for this opportunity,” said
Jan Thompson, Acting High Commissioner to India.
