Bhati Family Endowment

Priority area: Leading in our region
The Bhati Family Endowment aims to help create a better understanding and knowledge of Australia in India and of India in Australia.

The Bhati Family Travel Grant, funded through the Bhati Family Endowment, supports students from any discipline to travel to India for their research.

The award provides funds for related travel and accommodation expenses, encouraging students to build mutually beneficial relationships between Australia and India.

The endowment and travel grant was established in 2010 by U.N Bhati and his family as a way of giving back to India and Australia and to build the profile of the Australian National University in both countries.

The Bhati Family: A philanthropic legacy

From a small historic city in Rajasthan to the vibrant cobbled streets of Cartagena, the Bhati family's philanthropic legacy has spanned generations and traversed the globe…

I received the Bhati Travel Grant in year 2017 and used it for my trip to India for my fieldwork. First, I would like to thank the Bhati Grant Endowment Fund for promoting and supporting research scholars to undertake Indian Studies. The grant helped me meet my airfares and other local travel expenses and was a great aid financially. I completed my fieldwork and while at the field I was also able to successfully rework on one of my research papers and got it published.
