The British Council has been operating in India since 1948.  Our vision is of a bilateral relationship strengthened by improved economic, social and cultural opportunities for the next generation of young people in India.

We work in arts, education and by sharing the English language and increasingly focus on transformative programmes online (with the aim of reaching of tens of millions of people  in 2017 and more in future years) and through partnerships in States across the country. In 2016-17 we engaged with almost 3.2m people through our operations and libraries in New Delhi, Chennai, Kolkata and Mumbai and through centres in Ahmedabad, Bangalore, Chandigarh, Hyderabad, and Pune in partnership with the Indian Institute of Cultural Relations. A ten-year-long programme with State Governments has trained over 1m teachers in government schools and reached 35m children.   In addition, in 2016-17 we taught thousands of students in our teaching centres in New Delhi, Kolkata and Chennai.  British Council India Exams business has recently separated into a new entity in Gurgaon and offers UK qualifications to hundreds of thousands of Indians wishing to enhance their English language, academic and professional skills.
