Early Grant Information for NGOs
This funding opportunity seeks to train and equip, through a series of virtual and in-person sessions, a group of 70-80 journalists, media professionals, social media influencers, and storytellers from around India (30 from East and Northeast India, and the rest from other parts of India) on the latest techniques, usage, and production of AR and VR in the media industry.
The participants will learn from U.S. experts and organizations how AR is already improving productivity in media companies, enabling journalists to maximize resources to credibly counter all forms of mis/disinformation. The participants will learn how AR and VR solve a legitimate problem of the present media world: how to present complex information in a way that is comprehensible, interactive, and engaging.

Climate Fund to alleviate energy poverty in Developing Countries
The United States and India have a shared opportunity to combat the scourge of fake news and disinformation for a secure Indo-Pacific region by promoting a robust and responsible media environment. This includes promoting strong professionalism among journalists, improving digital literacy among the general public, and modernizing news outlets with immersive technologies to compete in the digital world.
Taken together, these steps would strengthen quality discourse and weaken the environment that has propelled disinformation in India and around the globe. The importance of partnerships is vital in the fight against fake news and disinformation, and the U.S. and India are already working together to promote a secure Indo-Pacific.
A more professional and technically savvy media presence in East and Northeast India, using the latest technologies, will allow journalists to effectively report on issues of key importance to both countries, furthering the U.S.-India partnership.
