Founded in 2008, Gandhi Fellowship started with 11 fellows in the Jhunjhunu district of Rajasthan. Gandhi Fellowship is an intensive, experiential, 2-year residential professional program in Transformational Leadership that helps talented young people learn all the necessary soft skills to sustain in the 21st century.
The aim was to drive positive transformation at all levels by reforming the system of public education.

        I read about this yesterday and I am givingkey points about it and how it will benefit students:
        The fellowship is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to facilitate skill development in local economies.

        The two-year blended programme includes classroom sessions at host IIMs as well as Fellow mentorship while in district.

        It provides an opportunity to work with district-level schemes and institutions to build institutions, boost skill development, link markets, and spur growth.

        MSDE will fully finance candidates selected from the 2021-2023 admissions cycle.

        During the first year of the programme, the candidate would be paid a stipend of Rs. 50,000 per month. During Year 2 of the programme, the candidate will earn a stipend of Rs. 60,000 per month after satisfying the requirements of Year 1. Quite impressive right?
