CALL FOR RESEARCH PROPOSALS
Azim Premji Foundation is launching a Research Grant programme designed to promote inquiry into areas that are of particular interest to the Foundation.
We seek to fund research in three linked, but distinct areas:
• Education and Allied Areas
• Law and Governance
• Development and Sustainability.
While we are open to any broad consideration within the area, the research should be empirically grounded, and be able to inform practice and policy.
The duration of projects can range from 1 to 3 years, and the size of the research grants from Rs.5 to 20 lakhs. Interested applicants should submit the following:
• CV for all investigators
• Short concept note of not more than 3 pages
• Rough budget
• Anticipated timeline
The concept note should indicate need for the study, highlight its significance, clearly identify the research objectives/questions, and outline the methodology to be employed. If the concept note is selected, the applicant will be asked to submit a detailed proposal for a second round including detailed budgetary requirements and dissemination plans. Applicants should read the terms of reference for each area before applying.
Applicants should have demonstrated competency and qualifications to undertake research in the proposed area. Grants will be awarded primarily to individuals or teams affiliated with academic institutions, think tanks, NGOs and other centres of vital research both in India and elsewhere.
Applications should be sent to [email protected]. Subject should mention the subtheme (Education and Allied Areas; Development and Sustainability; Law and Governance). Proposals that are outside the scope of the specific areas of research will not be considered further.

बेरोजगार युवाओं को मोदी सरकार ने दिया बड़ा तोहफा, आप भी पढ़िए - Amar Ujala पढ़े-लिखे बेरोजगार युवकों के लिए मोदी सरकार ने एक बड़ा फैसला किया है। इस फैसले के बाद युवाओं को रोजगार पाने में काफी मदद मिल सकती है।

प्रधानमंत्री नरेंद्र मोदी की "मन की बात"
* मेरे प्यारे देशवासियो, पिछली बार जब मैंने आपसे मन की बात की थी, तब भूकंप की भयंकर घटना ने मुझे बहुत विचलित किया था
* आज जब मैं मन की बात कर रहा हूँ, तो चारों तरफ भयंकर गर्म हवा, गर्मी, परेशानियां उसकी ख़बरें आ रही हैं I
* मेरी आप सब से प्रार्थना है कि इस गर्मी के समय हम अपना तो ख़याल रखें, हम अपने अगल-बगल में पशु-पक्षी की भी दरकार करें I
* घर के बाहर किसी बर्तन में पक्षियों को पीने के लिए पानी रखें I इस भयंकर गर्मी में पशु-पक्षियों की भी रक्षा हो जाएगी I
* सी.बी.एस.ई., अलग-अलग बोर्ड एग्ज़ाम पास करने वाले विद्यार्थी मित्रों को अपने नतीजे मिल गये हैं I मैं उन सब को बधाई देता हूँ I
* आपकी सफलता का कारण आपने साल भर कड़ी मेहनत की है, आपके स्कूल, आपके टीचर, पूरे परिवार ने, हर किसी ने प्रयास किया है I
* जो उत्तीर्ण हुए हैं उनके लिए मेरा इतना ही सुझाव है कि आप उस मोड़ पर हैं जहाँ से आप अपने करियर का रास्ता चुन रहे हैं I
* अब जगत बहुत बड़ा हो चुका है I विषयों और अवसरों की सीमायें नहीं हैं I आप ज़रा साहस के साथ आपकी रूचि के हिसाब से रास्ता चुनिए I
* देश को उत्तम शिक्षकों की ज़रूरत है तो उत्तम सैनिकों, उत्तम वैज्ञानिकों की भी ज़रूरत है I उत्तम कलाकार और संगीतकारों की भी आवश्यकता है I
* इतने सारे क्षेत्र हैं, इतनी विविधताओं से भरा हुआ विश्व है I हम ज़रूर प्रयास करेंI आपके सपने देश के सपनों से भी मेलजोल वाले होने चाहिये I
* ज़िन्दगी में सफलता विफलता स्वाभाविक है I जो विफलता से खुद को विफल बना देता है, वो कभी जीवन में सफल नहीं होता है I
* हम विफलता से भी बहुत कुछ सीख सकते हैं I विफलता आपको आपकी शक्तियों को जानने का अवसर बन सकती है I
* पूर्व राष्ट्रपति ने अपनी किताब ‘My Journey- Transforming Dreams into Actions’, में अपने जीवन का एक प्रसंग लिखा है I उन्होंने कहा है कि मुझे पायलट बनने की इच्छा थी, लेकिन जब मैं पायलट बनने गया तो मैं फ़ेल हो गया I उनका विफल होना भी कितना बड़ा अवसर बन गया I वो देश के महान वैज्ञानिक बन गये I राष्ट्रपति बने I और देश की आण्विक शक्ति के लिए उनका बहुत बड़ा योगदान रहा I
