Since its inception in 2013, the Oxford India Center for Sustainable Development (OICSD) has supported more than 60 Indian students at Oxford, many of whom have returned to India to work on things like healthcare, technology and climate change. Dr. Geeta Piramal Scholarship has been started to take forward this mission, thereby ensuring that underprivileged Indian students are also able to get global level education.
