The Council helps formulate and implement policies pertaining to India’s external cultural relations, to foster mutual understanding between India and other countries and to promote cultural exchanges with other peoples.
One of the major activities of the ICCR is its scholarship programme. The ICCR annually offers about 2325 scholarships under 21 scholarship schemes.
The embassy of India in Armenia is authorized to conduct The General Cultural Scholarship Scheme in Armenia.GCSS is one of the most important and popular schemes of the ICCR for foreign students.
