Dear Ms. Bajaj,
Thanks for your post.
You may try for PARTIAL Financial support from ICSSR. The form is available from their website. But they takes a long time. So you must apply at least 6 months ahead. You may also approach NISSAT/DST office.at Technology Bhawan or for INSA - COSTED funding opportunities. All are located at New Delhi. If you are from Delhi, you may be in a better position to pursue. If you work in any College/University you can try for UGC's partial financial support. If you are presenting paper based out of research of any project, you may approach the project funders. Please check whether the DST/NISSAT & INSA - COSTED still have funding schemes because I availed during mid 80's.
With best wishes for your venture.
