By offering financial support for the creation of high-impact research centers in establishments that hope to operate at the vanguard of worldwide excellence in science and engineering, the ANRF Impact Centers of Excellence (ACE) initiative seeks to advance Indian research. In addition to promoting a top-notch research environment with cutting-edge facilities for ambitious, innovative research, the program places a strong emphasis on research outcomes and impact that go well beyond publications. The program's goal is to hasten India's top universities' rise to prominence and growth in global institutional rankings, as well as their appearance among the world's top centers of research excellence. In order to achieve internationally benchmarked research excellence, an accelerated rise in global ranking toward the top of the world (and a significant improvement from current status), and a credible plan for mobilising the necessary matching funds, proposals must provide a clear and compelling roadmap. Support will not be given to proposals that do not exhibit such a vision and dedication.
Ramanujan Fellowship is meant for brilliant Indian/Indian Origin scientists and engineers from outside India to take up scientific research positions in India and for those scientists/engineers who want to return to India from abroad. The fellowship is scientist -specific and very selective. The Ramanujan Fellows could work in any of the scientific institutions and universities in the country and they would be eligible for receiving regular research grants through the extramural funding schemes of various S&T agencies of the Government of India.
