The '''French Institute in India''' is part of the worldwide network of "[[Institut français|French institutes]]". The Delhi office is the only one in [[India]], the [[French Institute of Pondicherry|Pondichery antenna]] of the institute being a research facility more than a cultural centre.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ifmapp.institutfrancais.com/les-if-dans-le-monde#|title=Les Instituts français dans le monde - |publisher=Institut français}}</ref><br />
<br />
== Background ==<br />
This French Institute was inaugurated on 29 March 2012 by Mr [[Xavier Darcos]], then president of the French Institute alliance.<ref name="ifindia.in">{{cite web |url=http://www.ifindia.in/content/history |title=History |publisher=Institut Français India |access-date=19 January 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170118052150/http://www.ifindia.in/content/history |archive-date=18 January 2017 |url-status=dead }}</ref><br />
However, French cultural activities in Delhi have existed under various forms before the official opening of the institute. Before 2012, all cultural activities related to the French embassy were supervised by [[Culturesfrance]].<ref>[https://www.legifrance.gouv.fr/affichTexte.do?cidTexte=JORFTEXT000023332301 Décret n° 2010-1695 du 30 décembre 2010 relatif à l'Institut français; Version consolidée au 27 juillet 2019; NOR: MAEA1026456D.]</ref><br />
<br />
The French Institute entertains close links with the [[French Embassy in India, New Delhi]], the local [[Alliance Française]] and other French-teaching establishments like the [[Lycée Français de Delhi]].<br />
<br />
The Lycée français de Delhi and the [[Center for Social Research and Humanities (New Delhi)|Centre for Social Research and Humanities]] are also based within its walls.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.csh-delhi.com/presentation|title= Mission|publisher=CSH }}</ref> <br />
It is located next to the 5 stars hotel 'Taj Mahal', the [[Parsi]] [[Parsi cemetery (New Delhi)|cemetery]] and a few hundred meters from the [[Rajpath]] and [[India Gate]]<ref name="ifindia.in"/><ref>{{cite web|url=https://wego.here.com/directions/mix//2,-Dr-A-P-J-Abdul-Kalam-Road,-New-Delhi-110011-DL,-Inde:loc-dmVyc2lvbj0xO3RpdGxlPTIlMkMrRHIrQStQK0orQWJkdWwrS2FsYW0rUm9hZDtsYW5nPWVuO2xhdD0yOC42MDIzNDA2OTgyNDIxODg7bG9uPTc3LjIyMTY0MTU0MDUyNzM0O3N0cmVldD1EcitBK1ArSitBYmR1bCtLYWxhbStSb2FkO2hvdXNlPTI7Y2l0eT1OZXcrRGVsaGk7cG9zdGFsQ29kZT0xMTAwMTE7Y291bnRyeT1JTkQ7ZGlzdHJpY3Q9UHJlc2lkZW50cytFc3RhdGU7c3RhdGU9RGVsaGk7c3RhdGVDb2RlPURMO2NvdW50eT1OZXcrRGVsaGk7Y2F0ZWdvcnlJZD1idWlsZGluZztzb3VyY2VTeXN0ZW09aW50ZXJuYWw |title= New Delhi|publisher=HERE WeGo}}</ref><br />
<br />
== Mission ==<br />
The institute’s cultural center participates actively to the local and national art scene, by organising dozens of cultural events every year, on a local, regional or national basis. It also participates to external events, within the promotion of friendly ties between France and other [[French language|francophone countries]] and India.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.extravagantindia.com/fr/Les-partenaires/institut-fran%C3%A7ais-inde|title=Institut Français Inde |publisher=Extravagant India }}</ref><br />
<br />
It cooperates intimately with Indian universities to propose joint courses to Indian and French students alike. In 2011 alone, 2500 Indian students chose to study in France via the joint programs created by the Institut français.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ifindia.in/content/university-cooperation|title=University Cooperation|publisher=Institut Français India|access-date=19 January 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170118052318/http://www.ifindia.in/content/university-cooperation|archive-date=18 January 2017|url-status=dead}}</ref><br />
