Participate in the 85th edition of the Know India Programme (KIP)
 
KIP is an engagement programme for Diaspora youth (between the age of 21-35 years) of Indian origin to introduce them to India and promote awareness about different facets of Indian life, our cultural heritage, art and various aspects of contemporary India. This programme is open to youth of Indian origin (excluding Non-Resident Indians) and has been in existence since 2003-04.
 
The upcoming 85th edition of the KIP is projected to be Special and Unique since this Ministry, in collaboration with the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports, has endeavoured to schedule participation of partakers of this edition in the upcoming Viksit Bharat Young Leaders Dialogue (VBYLD) coinciding with the National Youth Festival on January 12, 2026.
 
All applications must be sent to cul.bogota@mea.gov.in before December 5th, 2025.
