The Shastri Indo-Canadian Institute is a binational non-profit organization with registered charity status in Canada.〔http://www.acdi-cida.gc.ca/cpb/zonejeun.nsf/En/STE-10685857-5VW〕 The Institute supports the creation of binational links between academia, government, the business community and civil society organizations by funding research and hosting seminars. It provides grants as well as internships and fellowships to provide opportunities for individuals to gain first-hand experience in India or Canada in their field of expertise.〔http://www.sici.org/about/〕 Furthermore, the Institute serves as a liaison between educational institutions and the Indian diaspora in Canada.〔Baraga et al. ‘Building bridges: A Case Study on the Role of the Indian Diaspora in Canada’ (December 2008). Kingston: Queens University Press, 26〕 == History == Named after former Prime Minister of India, Lal Bahadur Shastri, the Shastri Indo-Canadian Institute was created in 1968 through a joint announcement of the governments of Canada and India. The idea of forming an institute to promote scholarly activity between Canada and India was first conceived by Dr. Michael Brecher, a political science professor at McGill University, when he met Prime Minister Shastri who gave the convocation address at McGill University in June 1965.〔Annual Report of the Shastri Indo-Canadian Institute, 1972-1973, pp. 1〕 In his address, the Prime Minister suggested that there needed to be institutional understanding to promote scholarly exchange in the field of humanities and social sciences.〔Annual Report of the Shastri Indo-Canadian Institute, 1972-1973, pp. 1〕 The initial purpose of the Institute was to encourage Canadian educational institutions to focus university level teaching and research on India. With an emphasis on the humanities and social sciences, the Shastri Institute’s programmes funded fellowships and distributed Indian books and journals to the libraries of the four founding Canadian member institutions.
