Dear friends!
Thanks for your interesting comments on this important issue. You seem to
have missed the point that this grant is not really for undergraduate
students. If you go through the brochure,it is for cuuriculum
development ,for organising seminars and workshops etc, Students do not do
all that.Even a Ph.D. student in India gets thrice this amount for doing
research.
Dr. Dannenmann should please add 11% per year inflation in developing
countries to her $500 or $1000 grant 20,30 or40 years ago and readjust the
amount to current day price level.
A Consultant of World Bank or UNDP gets around 90 times this amount for
curriculum development or workshop organisation or writing a 100 page
monograph in developing countries.
