The proposed increase in India's developmental assistance from $25 million in 2021 to $66 million for the fiscal 2023 is part of the US' developmental assistance for the fiscal 2023.
US President Joe Biden has proposed to increase the developmental assistance to India in clean energy, digital economy, and also in combating increasing authoritarianism.
The proposed increase in India's developmental assistance from $25 million in 2021 to $66 million for the fiscal 2023 is part of the State Department's developmental assistance for the fiscal 2023, which was sent by the White House to the US Congress on Monday.
"The funding increase for India supports India's role as a regional leader by increasing clean energy and other climate programming. Funds will also advance investments in the digital economy," said the State Department's portion of the budget.
"Assistance will combat increasing authoritarianism, bolster human rights and strengthen civil society participation and democratic governance," the State Department said.
