 This year we are celebrating 25 years of Chevening. The Chevening programme was launched in 1983, and is now the UK’s second largest scholarship programme globally. The Chevening India programme started in 1987 and has, over the years, given a unique opportunity to over 2,000 talented Indians to study in Britain and develop their skills. As the application period for the new batch opens, we are, as ever, looking for exceptional Indian graduates from diverse backgrounds. We hope that India’s leaders of the future will apply to be part of the programme, including from the private sector and civil society. Chevening scholars continue to make immense contributions to their home countries. When I worked in Eastern Europe, two of the region’s Prime Ministers were Chevening alumni. I see the Chevening Programme as a passport to success whether in politics, business, academia or the media.
