Georgia

After the dissolution of the Soviet Union, Bharat recognized Georgia’s independence on 26 December 1991 and established formal diplomatic relations on 28 September 1992. Bharat does not have a Resident Mission in Georgia. The Indian Mission in Armenia with residence in Yerevan is concurrently accredited to Georgia. The Georgian side had first set up its Honorary Consulate in New Delhi in 2005 which was subsequently upgraded to a fully-fledged Embassy in 2009.

Capacity Building

Georgian nationals visit Bharat for various short-term courses under ITEC scholarships which are offered to Georgia; ICCR Scholarships are offered to Georgian nationals to pursue undergraduate and postgraduate courses in Indian Universities.
Kendriya Hindi Sansthan (KHS ) offers scholarships to study Hindi in Bharat. An Indian Council for Cultural Relations (ICCR) Chair of Contemporary Indian Studies was established at the Tbilisi State University (TSU) for one year (2011-12). 
Bharat’s assistance to Georgia at present is mainly in the field of Human Resource Development. Bharat offers (i) Training slots (20 on average) every year under Indian Technical and Economic Cooperation (ITEC); the slots were increased to 25 for 2011-12 in view of high demand and utilization; (ii) Indian Council for Cultural Relations (ICCR) Scholarships to pursue undergraduate and postgraduate courses in Indian Universities; and (iii) Kendriya Hindi Sansthan scholarships to study Hindi in Bharat. In addition, an ICCR Chair of Contemporary Indian Studies has been established at the Tbilisi State University (TSU).
