Perth Consulate Opens Applications for 2026 Know India Programme

The Consulate General of India in Perth has announced that applications are now being accepted for the 89th edition of the Know India Programme (KIP). The six‑day cultural immersion will run from 15 to 29 September 2026, taking participating youth to various sites across India. Eligibility is limited to young people of Indian origin who reside in Western Australia and the Northern Territory.

KIP is designed to deepen connections between the Indian diaspora and their ancestral homeland through workshops, site visits and interactions with Indian peers. By offering a structured itinerary that showcases India’s heritage, contemporary society and opportunities for professional growth, the programme seeks to foster a sense of belonging and cultural pride among second‑generation Indians abroad.

Interested candidates are encouraged to submit their applications promptly, as spots are limited and competition is expected to be high. The Consulate’s outreach underscores India’s broader effort to engage with overseas Indian communities, reinforcing cultural ties and encouraging future collaboration in education, business and social initiatives.

For further details on eligibility criteria, application deadlines and the programme itinerary, applicants should consult the official Consulate website or contact the Perth Mission directly.
