About the Organization

SBI Youth for India Fellowship is a 13-month-long rural development Fellowship program, recognized as the flagship program of SBI Foundation, in partnership with 13 reputed NGOs. It provides a framework for India's young minds to join hands with rural communities, empathize with their struggles, and connect with their aspirations.

The Fellowship commenced in 2011, and since then, we have had 580+ alumni who completed the program, of which around 60% have transitioned to social sector organizations. Many work across CSRs, NGOs, Academia, and prestigious organizations such as J-PAL, ILO, NITI Aayog,  etc. Some have also joined globally acclaimed universities like Harvard, Oxford, LSE, IDS, etc,. Additionally, over 30 of our alumni have set up their social enterprises inspired by their fellowship projects/journeys.
