The Saraswati Dalmia Graduate Student Support Fund for South and Southeast Asian Studies was established in 2010 with a gift from Professor Vasudha Dalmia in honor of her mother, Saraswati Dalmia (1915-2010). A scholar and a poet, she belonged to the generation of women who pioneered entry into public life in the 1930s, in service both of a nation struggling for independence and of Hindi as national language. After her marriage to industrialist R. Dalmia she continued to encourage and support education at large and Hindi literature in particular.
This Fund is administered by the Department of South and Southeast Asian Studies. For more information, click here.
