Under the scheme titled Scholarship Programme for Diaspora Children, 100 admission-cum-scholarships will be offered each year for undergraduate courses in engineering, technology, humanities, liberal arts, commerce, management, journalism,

"A booklet containing details of the programme can be obtained from the Indian Missions or from the ministry's website," Vinod K Sachdeva, spokesperson for the Indian High Commission in Canada said on Friday.
The last date for receipt of applications is March 23. Entrance tests will be conducted on May 6, he said.
