WHAT IS THE SEARCH FELLOWSHIP?

SEARCH Fellowship is an opportunity for the youth to directly experience rural education and develop a thorough understanding of the various nuances of public education system by contributing on the grassroot levels through teaching and student-engagement. This full-time field-based fellowship is open for young graduates & post-graduates across various fields to initiate social change.

WHO IS THE SEARCH FELLOW?

We believe that our youth today has the ability to bridge the gaps in education system especially for those sections which are under-served. Our fellows are graduates and post-graduate who are passionate about the cause of education, have a good grasp over Hindi and English and are keen to become better educators, social change leaders and policy-makers.

The Fellow will be embarking on this two-way journey of leading transformation and as well as inward leadership-building through focussed mentorship and capacity-building at Varitra.
