Applications are invited for SAMARTH Fellowship from the Sarva SANDHI Foundation. The last date of application is 15 April 2022.
About the SAMARTH Fellowship
There is a rise in social development Fellowship opportunities in India for experiential learning, developing youth leadership, and engaging them in social development challenges. But there is a lack of awareness, low trust in youth, little guidance and support channels to mobilise them into such significant Fellowships in India. With the identification of the need to build capacities of youth with required skills, language, shaping their passion, providing professional mentorship to match the opportunities, SAMARTH Fellow is envisioned.
This will ensure the youth enter into social development spaces with the right cognition, compassion, and competencies to beat the intrinsic issues of development. The SAMARTH Fellowship 2022 is a 9-month Fellowship journey run by Sarva SANDHI Foundation to support young passionate leaders to make their entry in social development job roles and Fellowships in India.
The SAMARTH Fellowship aims to build the resilience of youth in shaping their aspirational career paths towards social change. This will encourage passionate youth to enter the social development sector by reaching awareness, building competencies, and matching the opportunities. This will be a Fellowship for the Fellowships in India. It will aim to democratise Fellowships in India. SAMARTH Fellows will engage them into three parts: self-development; peer activities; and meeting aspirational career goals through well-defined structural processes. This will immerse them into real-life situations faced by social development spaces.
