Yes but only the player(s) has accommodation paid, anyone accompanying a player is not funded.
I personally would be reluctant to send unaccompanied Juniors to any event with such complex travel arrangements and let them fend for themselves. Especially in India - it is a great country to visit (and work in) but a lot of care is needed when travelling around and especially with hygiene. Ever heard of "Delhi belly" - it's not restricted to Delhi and is very real. I have been fortunate enough never to have experienced it, but have on more than one occasion had to be responsible for sending sufferers back to the UK.
