With 356 million people between the ages of 10 and 24 and 256 million adolescents, India has the world’s largest young population.
We know that when adolescents have access to health services, education and employment opportunities, they make better choices for themselves, they live longer, and they participate more in society. Better opportunities for adolescents mean better outcomes for India.
The United States Agency for International Development is the part of the United States federal government that is primarily responsible for providing foreign aid and development assistance. We work very closely with the Government of India to reach our common development goals.
USAID has a long and successful partnership with the Government of India, and it all started with farmers. More than 70 years ago, our work together started with emergency food aid when drought decimated farmers' crops and threatened India's people with famine.
At USAID, our health portfolio is one of our largest investment areas, focusing particularly on maternal and child health, family planning, tuberculosis, HIV/AIDS, and antimicrobial resistance. However, we understand that our resources are just a fraction of the investment needed to achieve our development goals. As a result, our approach hinges on strengthening existing systems; forging shared-value alliances and partnerships; and demonstrating models that can be scaled up by others.
What is NICRA? A document published to reflect an estimate of indirect cost rate negotiated between the Federal Government and a Grantee/Contractor’s organization which reflects the indirect costs (facilities and administrative costs) & fringe benefit expenses incurred by the organization that will be the same across all the agencies of the United States.
Wildlife Conservation Trust (WCT) and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) launched the conservation documentary film ‘Tiger Matters’ at the India Habitat Centre.

The film details the intricate and interwoven actions to secure the future of tiger habitats and local communities. ‘Tiger Matters’ is available on YouTube.
