About the Organization

Goonj aims to build an equitable relationship of strength, sustenance, and dignity between the cities and villages, using under-utilized material as a tool to trigger development with dignity. We envision growing as an idea across regions, economies, and countries using urban surplus material as a tool to address basic but neglected issues of the financially and materially poor, involving them in designing and implementing their own solutions, with their own efforts, knowledge, and dignity, and material as a reward for their participation.

About the Fellowship

Our aim is to create more doers, following the words of our founder, Anshu Gupta, “Right now India doesn’t need more thinkers, it needs more doers.” We are looking for people with a passion to make a difference. If one is tired of thinking about solutions and wants to do something, then this Fellowship is the place for you!

Goonj Urban Fellowship -

Goonj Urban Fellowship started with the aim to provide urban youth, usually isolated from the rural realities, exposure to the issues of urban and rural India some amazing work in rural India. Our aim was also to stand with them, nudging for their capacity building, fundraising and cross learning work, in a year long journey.

Goonj Grassroots Fellowship –

In 2019 Goonj started the Grassroots Fellowship for capacity-building and nurturing of rural youth. In the one year of Fellowship, fellows immerse in various development initiatives in geographies across rural India. Our overarching goal is to build a bridge of capacity for the rural youth, giving them the confidence and opportunities to learn and work in their villages/ towns, instead of migrating to cities in desperation.
