Ten Indian students were recently awarded the Victoria India Doctoral Scholarship by Louise Asher, Member of Parliament, Minister for Innovation, Services and Small Business, Victoria, Australia. This is the second year where selected students from India will be receiving a fully funded programme to pursue a PhD at various institutes in Victoria, Australia.

The scholarship, valued at AUD 90,000 and disbursed over three years, gives Indian students an opportunity to work with and assist Australian researchers using cutting-edge research infrastructure and facilities.

Students are eager to experience the facilities and infrastructure the universities are offering. "The textile department of Deakin University has a reputation for being at the forefront of multidisciplinary research. I look forward to work in collaboration with people from other scientific faculties. This would give me not only an additional edge in research, but also offer opportunities to look at the problems from a different perspective," said Amol Janardan Patil, a postgraduate from IIT Delhi who will pursue a PhD in conducting polymers and collaboration with nanotechnology.
