The Raffles Bicultural Programme (India) is designed to develop in students of all races a deeper understanding of Indian history, culture and society and its relationship with the World, in particular with Singapore. The programme prepares students to be multi-cultural players of the future, equipped with the knowledge and skills needed to be actively engaged in the Indian economy.

The programme focuses on four broad themes – Glimpses of India, Opportunities and Challenges, Politics and Governance, and India and the World. It is conducted via lectures, seminars, symposiums and dialogue sessions, and will culminate in a practicum for students to apply the knowledge they have acquired through the course of the programme. The practicum component includes an overseas trip, field studies and attachments at industries and educational institutions both locally and in India.
