3. In view of the current austerity measures and economic constraints prevalent in the Government, Ministry of Electronics and IT (MeitY) has recommended a cap on deputation of ITRA researchers abroad.
As per the directions, only one international visit per project institution for the entire project duration will be permitted by MietY. Hence international travel would not be supported for the ITRA reasearchers from such institutions from which researchers have already undertaken international travel support through ITRA funds.
PS: Until austerity measures by Govt. of India are revoked, DeitY guidelines on expenditure for international travel by ITRA Researchers shall supersede the limits as mentioned by ITRA.
