It provides individuals and institutions with access to contemporary British ideas and expertise. In India, the council operates as a division of the British High Commission. India is the the largest British Council operation in the world, with four major offices in New Delhi, Calcutta, Mumbai and Chennai and eight Biritish libraries thorughout the country.
