Indo-Russia agreement on competitive research projects
The Union Cabinet was today “apprised” of an agreement signed between India and Russia for joint implementation of competitive research projects in areas of basic and exploratory sciences. The agreement, signed in May last year, is valid for a period of six years and could be extended through mutual consent between Department of Science and Technology(DST) and Russian Science Federation (RSF). It provides for competitive research grants to Indians and Russians for joint implementation of projects.
