Aeronautics R&D Board will also receive proposal for financial support for conducting intensive short courses of current interest to Aeronautics. The proposal in this regard will be submitted by the institution concerned in the same format as indicated by Procedure for Seminar & Symposium and scrutinized by the concerned panel. Based on the recommendations of the panel, the sanction will be accorded by Secretary AR&DB if the outlay is up to Rs. 1.00 lakh. In case the requirement of the fund is more than 1.00 lakh the technical committee will also examine the proposal. Based on the recommendation of the panel and the technical committee, the Chairman AR&DB could approve such cases. However, no ceiling for financial support for such individual activity is proposed. Further, an overall ceiling of 10% of AR&DB budget per year would apply for all such courses and expenditure on other promotional activities of the board.

The AR&DB will also consider to the extent desirable, proposals for inviting specialists from abroad for participation in such short courses, and procedures outlined in Procedure for Seminar & Symposium would apply.

The sponsors of Intensive short courses will also render a comprehensive report including lecture material, comprehensive analysis of the subject and the plan of action evolved to resolve the grey areas on completion of the course.
