About Domestic Funding Of Foreign Training
The “Domestic Funding of Foreign Training (DFFT)” scheme was introduced by the Department of Personnel and Training, Government of India, in 2001-02, to upgrade government officers’ knowledge and skills and expose them to international best practices by deputing them to long- or short-term training programmes abroad. The Training Division of the Department of Personnel and Training implements the scheme, which nominates officers to universities/institutes abroad, sharpening their knowledge, skills, and competence in their current roles as well as future assignments, drawing on international developments in policy and governance.
