Gandhi Fellowship 2026
The Gandhi Fellowship Program 2025–26, offered by the Piramal Foundation, is a prestigious two-year leadership development fellowship designed to nurture young changemakers who aspire to work at the intersection of social impact, governance, and community development. This transformative program immerses fellows in rural and semi-urban environments, allowing them to work directly with communities, government systems, and educational institutions. Through hands-on experience, mentorship, and rigorous personal development, the Gandhi Fellowship helps young graduates build purpose-driven leadership, problem-solving abilities, empathy, resilience, and a deep understanding of India’s grassroots challenges.
This fellowship aims to empower youth to discover their potential, develop innovative solutions, and drive large-scale social change. It is an enriching journey for those looking to build careers in development, policy, education, public systems, entrepreneurship, and nation-building.
