Challenge Description with context	There are many Governmental and Non-Governmental sources of grants for undertaking research in Colleges and Universities. Lack of information in one platform about the institution granting funds, criteria of selection, norms and stipulations, time period, purpose for which grants are available, last date, eligibility criteria for all the grants available at International, National levels and local and subject-wise details, is inhibiting several potential researchers from availing the grants for undertaking research projects. Provision of such a platform would be useful in enabling healthy competition among researchers and also for the best utilization of funds for research programs.
