Mr Brumby announced the Victorian Government would award five Victorian and five Indian undergraduate and high-level vocational education training students AUD$10,000 scholarships in 2009, as part of a new International Exchange Scholarship program. "Victoria places the highest importance on our relationship with India. Our two cultures share a common commitment to innovation and an energy and optimism to tackle the challenges of the future," Mr Brumby said. "It's crucial that both Victoria and India invest in our next generation of innovators and thinkers, as we forge stronger bonds and new solutions to secure the future. Understanding is a two way process, and we are keen to have Victorian students bring home a fuller understanding of India as well as Indian students of Victoria."
