Know India Programme is an initiative of the Ministry of External Affairs, Government of India aimed to connect the Indian diaspora youth all over the world in the age group 18-30 years with their motherland. Launched in December 2003, Know India Programme (KIP) is a three-week orientation programme for diaspora youth conducted with a view to promote awareness on different facets of life in contemporary India.
During the period of their stay in India, the KIP participants are given insights to understanding of India’s political system, economy, society, and developments in various key sectors.
The Ministry has successfully arranged 65 editions of Know India Programme until 2022-23. In 2023, the programme has been revamped to reflect elements of ‘New India’ and the vision of ‘Amrit Kaal’, with focus on highlighting sectoral developments as well as cultural and civilizational heritage of India.
KIP provide a unique forum for students & young professionals of Indian origin to visit India, share their views, expectations & experiences and to develop closer bonds with the contemporary India.
