The Inlaks Fellowship for Social Engagement 2026 is a prestigious two-year fellowship designed to give young Indians the space, support, and security to explore issues of public and social importance. It provides an opportunity for fellows to pause traditional career paths and immerse themselves in social research, grassroots work, public health, community rights, ecological initiatives, legal advocacy, grassroots journalism, or documentation of dying arts and culture. Through financial support, guided learning, and three compulsory workshops, the fellowship helps young individuals develop critical thinking, broaden their worldview, and engage meaningfully with society. This program is meant for personal learning and exploration—not organizational work—ensuring the fellow gains deep, independent insights during their social engagement journey.
