Who We Are
Let's ride the wave
together
The Gandhi Fellowship started over a decade and half ago, primarily to develop new-age leadership competencies in young people. The backdrop was the Indian classroom that did a reasonable job of developing technical skills. But creativity and collaboration, communication and empathy, risk-taking and resilience… and all that is material to the real-life world was obscured. A post-Covid world, besieged by Health, Climate and Conflict, finds itself even more fragile. It is volatile, complex and ambiguous. If every problem is an opportunity, the 21st Century has unlocked countless opportunities for those who are agile enough to adapt and commit to ongoing learning.
The Gandhi Fellowship is a chance to spark solutions to the problems of a new India, even the world. It is a class with room enough for great leaders to produce more leaders, and not merely followers.
Dear Parents & Teachers !!!
What happens to my Ward? Why should she join? What will she get from it? Is it even safe? How do Fellows live and learn? What is the Gandhi Fellowship Program? This longish letter hopes to address your concerns. After all these are your Bacchas we are talking about. You must find it in your hearts to do what is right for them.
Best wishes!!!
Vivek Sharma
Founder Director, Gandhi Fellowship Program

I learned that the true meaning of Seva Bhav involves living among the community, understanding their lifestyle, and empathizing with their struggles. True Seva Bhav is about empathy, commitment, and sustained efforts to improve others' lives.

Gandhi Fellowship made me realize that only informed
reflection can lead to informed action. This realization
motivated me to initiate a public system project on Theatre for social change, which aims to bring reflective spaces to historically oppressed and marginalized voices.
