E-MAIL HELPLINE

For any queries related to INSPIRE Internship Science Camps, INSPIRE-Scholarship for Higher
Education (SHE), INSPIRE Fellowship and INSPIRE Faculty Fellowship, please contact the following
officers by e-mail. Under normal circumstances, the officers will respond to your query within 3 Working
Days. In case you do not receive a reply to your e-mail within 3 Working Days, you can send an e-mail to
the Head, INSPIRE Programme Division (whose e-mail is also given below).

Please note that the INSPIRE Division has to look at a big database, and at times discuss the case, before
answering a query. You are, therefore, requested to have a little patience and not mark copies of your e-
mails to more than one authority at a time in anxiety. This only floods the e-mail system and delays the
processing because of repetitive receipts from several sources.
