Chennai: On India’s 74th Independence Day, the New India Foundation (NIF) will begin inviting applications for the first round of the NIF Translation Fellowships to be awarded in 2022.
Aimed at encouraging translations from outstanding non-fiction works in Indian languages to English, the NIF Translation Fellowships will showcase the country’s rich history and distinct narratives through regional literature, said a press release.
These new fellowships complement the existing NIF programme that has led to the publication of 22 books so far and several new works ready for publication, over the 10 fellowship rounds.
