- It is a two-year Fulltime Fellowship Programme and it will provide opportunities to build understanding on how the change in education can happen.
- Fellows will be posted in the rural districts of the six states and one Union territory that we work out of. They are expected to commit to a life which is seemingly rough but very rewarding - gaining important and exciting insights about the people of that terrain and their lives. Living and pursuing such a life is integral to the change.

- Understanding the ecosystem of a school engaging with the teachers, community, and education functionaries.
