Asian Agri-History Foundation Research Fellowship (M.Sc. Agriculture - All Disciplines)(AAHFRF)

The Asian Agri-History Foundation Research Fellowship supports students working towards an M.Sc. in Agriculture, across all disciplines, at the Govind Ballabh Pant University of Agriculture and Technology (GBPUAT) in Pantnagar. myScheme lists it as a state scheme in Uttarakhand: the university runs it as the implementing agency under the state's Department of Agriculture, and it is meant for meritorious M.Sc. Agriculture students on its own rolls.

For a selected student the benefit is a monthly fellowship of ₹1,200, paid for one year, so it works as a short research grant rather than a full course scholarship. Applications go in offline on the university's prescribed form and are assessed by a selection committee before payments begin. The fellowship amount is fixed, but the application window and the required documents follow the university's guidelines for the current cycle, so check the official listing for the open dates before you apply.

The fellowship carries the name of the Asian Agri-History Foundation, a non-profit trust set up in 1994 and based in Secunderabad by a group of agricultural scientists, closely associated with Dr. Y.L. Nene. The foundation works on the history of farming in Asia, recovering and translating old texts on Indian and Asian agriculture and publishing them through its journal and books. If you are weighing the award, confirm your eligibility and the current deadline against the official myScheme listing and the university's student corner before you apply.
