28 Nov 2009
Global IT services major Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) announced a new program to encourage quality academic research to increase the available faculty talent pool in India.
TCS will fund 200 doctoral candidates over a period of five years to take up PhD programs in reputable academic institutions across the country. 40 doctoral or PhD candidates will be chosen as TCS Research Scholars every year from a number of reputable academic institutes through a process of selection conducted by TCS and the academic institutes.
TCS Research Scholars program will help enlarge the R&D agenda and encourage exploration of new ideas by funding candidates in doctorate programs. By inducting 200 new PhD scholars into the academic eco-system over a period of five years, this initiative will also significantly enhance the pipeline of high quality faculty for colleges, apart from generating new ideas and honing research talent in the country.
The new program will supplement existing TCS programs like the 'Academic Interface Program', which is a holistic initiative to enhance the quality of the emerging workforce across the globe by supporting students, faculty, institutes and government.
