The statement further added that the Scheme is jointly implemented by Ministry of Higher Education, Government of Islamic Republic of Afghanistan and Embassy of India in Kabul and @Indian Council for Cultural Relation (ICCR), New Delhi. The #ICCR offers 1000 scholarships per annum to Afghan students, the largest scheme for any country run by ICCR.
