What the grant funds
The United States has maintained a longstanding commitment to a free, open, and secure Indo-Pacific. That commitment has underpinned the stability and remarkable economic rise of this region. India’s armed forces will find no better partner than the U.S. military. U.S. actions over the past few years – and in recent months – have reaffirmed this commitment. This project will reinforce that message to the general Indian public. Project Objectives 1. Train a community of 100-120 informed journalists, storytellers, media professionals and social media influencers who will multiply the message of a robust U.S.-India defense relationship. 2. Produce 50-75 positive and interesting print and digital stories both in English and other prominent Indian vernacular languages that will be disseminated through mainstream media as well non-traditional media within 6-12 months of the conclave.
