  • Four years ago, the then U.S. President Donald Trump signed the Gandhi-King Scholarly Exchange Initiative Act.

  • The initiative aims to strengthen India-U.S. ties through the study of the "history and legacies" of Mahatma Gandhi and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Funding and Regulatory Challenges

  • U.S. and Indian officials face hurdles posed by the Foreign Contribution Regulation Act (FCRA), which has delayed funding for the initiative.

  • The initiative's estimated funding is approximately $40 million (₹335 crore).

  • The initiative required the establishment of three entities to achieve its goals:

    • Exchange Programme: Launched in 2021 in the U.S., this program selects 20 scholars each year for exchange.

    • Global Academy: To be established by the U.S. Institute of Peace in Washington.

    • Gandhi-King Development Foundation: Progress on this entity has been slow due to scrutiny by Indian authorities regarding the funding mechanism and scope.

  • On June 17, a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed in Delhi by National Security Adviser Ajit Doval and his U.S. counterpart Jake Sullivan.

  • Despite this MoU, Indian Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) officials indicate that only preliminary discussions have occurred, with no clear proposal yet from the U.S.

  • A working group comprising MEA, USAID (U.S. Agency for International Development), and the Indian Embassy in Washington is working on finalizing the foundation's approach and contractual arrangements.
