The Association of Indian Humphrey Fellows (AIHF) is an association of accomplished professionals across India who have been to the United States under the Hubert H. Humphrey Fellowship Program. AIHF was formed in January 2004 with a registered office in New Delhi. AIHF provides an organizational platform for the more than 125 Indian Humphrey Fellows to foster the Humphrey spirit of leadership and social development.
AIHF fellows are actively connected through their electronic group HumphreyFellows@yahoogroups.com. In addition, AIHF regularly organizes get-togethers as well as theme-based events. Notable among these gatherings was the Third South Asian Regional Conference of Humphrey Alumni on the theme "Leadership in Public Service” in Agra in April 2005 which had fifty Humphrey alumni from eleven countries come together.
