The Prime Minister’s Research Fellows (PMRF) Scheme was introduced in the Budget 2018-19 to improve the quality of research in numerous higher educational institutions of the country. This scheme strives to attract the best talent in research with attractive fellowship, thereby realising the vision of development through innovation. Under this scheme, the selection of the candidates will be through a rigorous process, and their performance will be reviewed through a national convention. But, this scheme is applicable only in the areas of science and technology.
