The major aim of the fellowship program is announced to help young women scientists who are in their early careers so they can take their research projects in such countries where they have been known as particularly deficient in scientific and technological resources. The fellows can join their research projects in such countries and they have to spend the maximum period given to them at least 5 years in the country for their research work. The fellows who join the program will get jobs at the institution so they can complete their research.
