Eligibility for Jawaharlal Nehru Fellowships JNMF 2011 2012
The Fellowships are open to scholars in every discipline
- the sciences as well as the humanities
- and also to categories of people not normally covered by existing schemes such as
writers, journalists, artists and civil servants
- for undertaking not only projects of highly sophisticated and technical subjects but also for
study in depth of current problems relevant to the India of today.
The only criterion is that they should possess proven capacity for outstanding work and a real desire to pursue a creative project,
exploring new possibilities in their chosen field. While it has not been considered desirable to lay down any age-restrictions, efforts are made to ensure
that an adequate number of Fellows are in their forties or fifties so that the Fellowships are followed by a long period of creativity, which would be of benefit to the country.
The Fellowships are open to Indian citizens and the Fellows have complete freedom to work at places of their choice within India.
STIPEND:
The Fellowship is tenable for two years and carries a monthly stipend of Rs. 60,000/-, which is exempt from Income Tax u/s 10(17A) of the Income Tax Act, 1961.
In addition, actual expenses on secretarial assistance, traveling and other contingencies are met by the Fund subject to a ceiling of Rs. 50,000/- per annum.
