The Gandhi fellowship 2012
The Gandhi Fellowship is an intensive two-year programme that helps talented young people in the country in developing their leadership skills. To achieve this objective, Gandhi Fellowship is sending the select graduates and postgraduates from the elite institutes across the country back to schools. They take charge of some ailing government schools; they interact with headmasters to inspire them to become leaders rather than mere administrators; they teach children from varied social milieus; they talk to local communities; they go and stay in slums; they see, and experience, first-hand, the grassroots reality. On a weekly basis fellows support headmasters, take part in capacity building sessions, read case studies and articles.In the process, they discover a lot about what they are passionate about
