Stebbins, R. 1963 Asian Trip New Delhi Jan, 15 encourage setting up of laboratory science program in 6 or 8 colleges and universities. Several countries were considered with respect to this contract, the U.S., United Kingdom, and there was a place for a write in when the group voted on the matter. Russia was given the contract on a write in, yet the U.S. is mostly footing the UNESCO bill. Leonard is perturbed with the overall operation of the organization. He does not want the Russians to come in and fool around in the secondary schools. Actually the contract has not yet been agreed to by the Indians. He hopes the Indians will decline. Leonard has chatted with the Indian Ministry of Education to see if the U.S. PSSC course might be used but so far the ministry has been unresponsive. Prof. D.S. Kothari of the Univ. Grants Committee very much approves, however. Financing of institutes would be distributed as follows: Ministry of Education 25%, University Grants Committee 25%, and USIS (AID) 50%. Forty teachers will be included in each institute. There will be available subject material in each teacher's field of interest. The institute hopes to help these teachers adapt the new curricular materials and there will be a follow up on these for teachers.
