Gandhi Fellowship

About Gandhi Fellowship

Gandhi Fellowship is an experiential 2-year residential fellowship course in transformation leadership. For the last 10 years, Gandhi Fellowship has empowered young women and men to groom themselves into change leaders who go on to create large scale social and public systems change, where each fellow is fueled by the philosophy of “Build Self, Build Nation”.

The program is designed to bring out one’s entrepreneurial thinking and leadership skills in order to create lasting changes in society.

What is the course of 2 years in the fellowship?

The fellowship aims to measure the holistic development and growth of each fellow. The fellowship curriculum works towards the building and strengthening of every fellow’s leadership.

The fellowship is built around the following processes:

1. Leadership Curriculum

2. Monthly Workshops

3. Boot Camps

4. Kaun Banega The New Millionaire (K.B.T.N.M)

5. Learning Journey

6. Field Support

7. Community Immersion

8. Classroom Immersion

9. Government System Immersion

10. Vipassana

11. Debriefs

12. One-On-one

The curriculum is also subject to modification based on the varying needs of the community we engage with and the fellows.

How is the fellowship different from a job?

The organization identifies fellows based on their existing skills and competencies, then customizes the journey of each fellow according to the aspiration path identified, helping them articulate their private dream backed by a public reality. A fellow gets various facilities along with a stipend. A job is a defined task where an employee has to work towards the goals of an organization/company, which involves a basic payment structure.

When was the fellowship started?

Founded in 2008, Gandhi Fellowship started with 11 fellows in the Jhunjhunu district of Rajasthan. The aim was to create young change leaders across the country to drive positive transformation at all levels by reforming the system of public education.
