About the Organization

Since 1976, The Inlaks Shivdasani Foundation has provided over 1300 Scholarships, Awards, Fellowships, Art Residencies, Internships, and Grants, both abroad and in India.

Our Mission:

• To look for and support young individuals of exceptional talent, character, and motivation, across a broad range of endeavours.
• To help bring that talent to fruition by providing high-quality academic, creative, and life-changing opportunities.
• By doing so, each personal achievement will benefit the individual and also the wider world.

About the Fellowship

The Fellowship gives young people the opportunity to build a diverse worldview and establish long-lasting connections to issues of public importance. It encourages them to challenge the status quo while building confidence and security to explore alternatives and make independent choices about their lives.

The norm in India is for young graduates to join the workforce immediately, which inhibits sufficient self-exploration and often leaves young people with little space to develop critical thinking and a broader view of the world. This impedes many talented individuals from engaging with society in a meaningful way. The Fellowship creates one such space and possibility for such an engagement.

The Fellowship will give young people the opportunity to work with a mentor of their choice and involve themselves in a process where knowledge drives social change.

The work pursued may take many forms, including action-oriented research, cause lawyering, grassroots journalism, ecological efforts, community rights, public health, archiving, reviving, or reporting on dying arts, culture, language etc.

The Fellowship is for two years, subject to the satisfactory completion of a probation period and a quarterly and annual review of the Fellow’s work. The probation period will be for the first six months of the Fellowship.
