What is the Mahatma Gandhi National Fellowship offered by IIM Bangalore?

Mahatma Gandhi National Fellowship offered solely at IIM Bangalore aims at offering skills to government officials for implementing various government schemes at district, state, and national levels. The combination of academics with industry experience, the fellowship enables the fellows to train with officials and create a district-level skill development ecosystem. It will target a specific group of young people filled with vigor and ready to uplift the ecosystem in management, entrepreneurship, and public policy. 

This 2-year program has been initiated across 75 districts. Graduates within the age bracket of 21-30 can participate and will receive a certificate in public policy and management from the fellows. The program offers INR 50000 in the first year and INR 60000 in the second.

This fellowship is specially designed for those willing to work in the social sector. Don’t commit to this program unless you are 100% sure you won’t regret giving up a corporate high-paying job for this.
