Content Outline for Script (Based on Sources) If you need to record the video, ensure these specific points from the sources are covered to boost authority (E-E-A-T): 1. The "Big News" Intro: Start with the Union Budget 2025 announcement. Mention the proposed 10,000 fellowships to nurture research talent. 2. Clarify the "What": Explain that PMRF is different from PMFDR. ◦ PMRF is fully government-funded for academic research in IITs/IISc. ◦ PMFDR is a PPP model with industry partners (CII) offering double JRF. 3. The Money: Clearly break down the ₹70,000 to ₹80,000 progression. Mention that the ₹2 Lakh/year grant can be carried forward but must be spent before the thesis submission. 4. The "Gatekeepers" (Nodal Institutes): Briefly mention that different IITs handle different subjects. E.g., IIT Delhi handles Mechanical, IIT Bombay handles Civil. 5. The Catch (Deliverables): It's not free money. Mention the mandatory TAship (Teaching Assistantship) of 1 hour/week in neighborhood ITIs/Polytechnics. If you don't do this, the fellowship stops. 6. Selection Reality: Clarify that there are generally no central interviews for selection; it is based on the nomination, grades, and research proposal reviewed by a national panel
