Towards this, it has announced the Great Britain scholarships-India 2015 under which 401 scholarships would be provided this year to Indian students," Director Operation British Council, India, Gillian Caldicott, said here.With 401 scholarships this year and over 750 in the last two years, this is the largest scholarships programme offered to Indian students. The scholarships are worth almost GBP 1.51 million, he said."We are keen to encourage greater student mobility and exchanges between India and the UK. UK welcomes India's best talent to gain internationally recognized qualifications from top ranking global institutions," Caldicott said.On the occasion, Minister Counselor (Political and Press) Andrew Soper said the fact that 84 percent of Indian students who applied for visas in 2013 were successful clearly shows that we welcome Indian students in our universities.
