Congress Announces Public Policy Fellowship Program. You Can Apply
The National Students’ Union of India (NSUI) – which is the student wing of India’s main opposition party Congress – has announced a fellowship program under the banner: Future of India.
The 4-week program aims to engage intellectuals and professionals (if there are any) to discuss, debate, and think the future of India through public policy initiatives.
The traditional Congress leaders such as Ajay Maken, Sachin Pilot, Sam Pitroda, Jairam Ramesh, Shashi Tharoor, Salman Khurshid, and P. Chidambaram will lead the program.
According to NSUI, the fellowship will focus on developing an understanding of the political considerations and implications of different policy choices to build a new generation of liberal, democratic, and compassionate young leaders across India.
