Ambedkar Fellowship: Started in 2012, this fellowship is exclusively for the youths from Dalit, Adivasi, and Muslim communities of Bihar to establish them as role models for their societies nurturing 21st Century Skills, linking them with various learning and employability opportunities to become a skilled, well-informed, and gender sensitive citizen. This fellowship led to the formation of Bihar Youth Equity Forum (BYEF) also known as Bihar Ambedkar Student Forum (BASF) with a base of around 5500 members across 12 districts of Bihar
CLAY Fellowship: Started in 2013 and aimed at early intervention with the children from the most vulnerable castes like Musahar, Dom among Dalits ensuring that they get quality school education along with the knowledge of English and Computer education through Community Learning Centers (CLCs). The 3-year fellowship nurtures them not only with the academic education but also with Citizenship Education, and 21st century skills through Community Action Projects (CAPs) and multiple training and exposures. This fellowship led to the formation of the State Children’s Equity Forum (SCEF) with a base of 750 children and adolescents with Vaktitva Vikas Kendra (VVK)
Social Inclusion Fellowship: Started in 2019 with the encouraging results and learnings from Ambedkar Fellowship, the Social Inclusion Fellowship started for the youths from Dalit and Muslim communities of UP to provide the same learning and opportunity to prosper as the youths from Bihar were availing. The youths affected by the global pandemic followed by a series of lockdowns, got an opportunity to open a window of learning through the Social Inclusion Fellowship. This fellowship led to the formation of Uttar Pradesh Youth Equity Forum (UPYEF) with a base of around 1500 members across 15 districts of UP
ASPIRE Fellowship: Exclusion based on caste is everywhere in India, and it has a little difference when it comes to the urban geographies. Most often the caste-based differences are not so boldly visible as it is in the rural areas. In Delhi, while working with the youths we found that the access to the public resources and intellectual properties was based on castes, and so we started the Aspire Fellowship in 2021 for urban youths among marginalized communities. This 1-year fellowship journey especially crafted for the urban youths provided them the necessary exposure and community-based interventions that groomed them as young vocal leaders. This initiative led to the formation of the Delhi Youth Equity Forum (DYEF) with 20 fellows in the current batch and a base of 300+ members.
GYAAID Fellowship: Started in 2025, GYAAID Fellowship is a unique opportunity for young people (18–25 years) from marginalized communities who are committed to challenging inequality and discrimination in India. As part of this fellowship, selected youths join an ongoing movement for equity and justice. They receive mentorship, build leadership skills, and gain opportunities to engage in national and international campaigns for inclusion. Fellows also get an opportunity to be part of the Global Organising School (GOS), connecting them to a broader global movement.
Loknayak Fellowship: Started in 2016, This fellowship aims to develop a youth in a way who can question every public institution from PRI to the district governance and also provides possible solutions, and supports mitigating the gaps. This also aims to prepare a league of youths from socially excluded communities who are equipped with all the necessary skills, knowledge, and are interested in value-based politics at the local level bringing inclusion and good governance. The Loknayak Fellowship empowers youth (18-25) from marginalized communities by developing leadership skills, 21st-century competencies, and education to create grassroots “role models.” We foster social awareness, personality development, higher education access, and employment/entrepreneurship opportunities. Through Vyaktitva Vikas Kendras (VVKs), we organize youth platforms for community impact. Fellows become critical thinkers, effective communicators, and gain awareness of government schemes (education, health, socio-economic development) and constitutional rights. The fellowship builds empowered change-makers driving local-to-national progress. What keeps this fellowship distinctive is the special emphasis on developing citizenship awareness, and awareness towards our political rights and responsibilities.
