Wanna visit India? Free! by SpArKo 2011/09/04 08:16 Yes sure u can visit India, that too free of cost.
There is a program frequently conducted by Indian government, named as ITEC, where international participants can come to India for learning purpose. My institute, EDI is at the top among the 42 centers facilitating this program. Here the candidates come attend classes (in entrepreneurship, mass communication, NGO Management, Cluster Development etc.) for 6-8 weeks and they are also taken out on a national trip for 12 days in between. Almost every 2nd day they'll be taken out for shopping, industrial visits and sight seeing in the city and nearby areas. Lodging and boarding everything is provided by the institute, of high standards.
The current batch (for August 22 - October 14, 2011) that is here is all Afrikaans, few Europeans, Vietnamese and South Asians also. You can come too, in next batch maybe.
It is free of cost, because our government pays for it, almost (Rs. 300 thousand per candidate) and u also get cash money every time you are taken out for shopping, sight-seeing etc.
