This is education documentation for developers to learn new skills.

With the launch of this program we want to bridge the gap by providing India’s developer community an easy access to learn and build high-quality apps for the world,” said Rajan Anandan, VP & Managing Director, Google South East Asia & India.
Google shall directly pay the program fee to Udacity and the winners do not need to pay any monies to anyone for the program under scholarship.
