Idea

“Become the change that you want to see in the world,” said Gandhi. He didn’t just say it, he did it. When Gandhi was teaching against caste discrimination, he was leading from the front with a broom in his hand. He was cleaning his own toilet. When he gave the call to boycott the British goods, he shifted to the homespun khadi and never left it.

By setting an example, by becoming what he was preaching, Gandhi forced people to change. Gandhi Fellowship believes that’s the only way we can change the world around us: by changing ourselves.

What you do?

The Gandhi Fellowship is an intense & full-time, residential, two-year Leadership Programme.

Do not come to the programme if you are only looking to extend the campus phase by another two years. Gandhi Fellowship is serious business. It is also strenuous business. We are serious about you seeing yourself in a new light. And we do everything that it takes to make men/women out of boys/girls.

India needs change leaders and we want you to become one in the times to come. We want you to realise your dreams during these two years. Which means you better be serious about your reflective process and calibrate your motivations towards driving change: big change. India is going through a high and productive economic phase, but the disparity is growing as well. We want you to begin to see potential in yourself by the end of two years.

While your active workplace is the school, we are not trying to make educationists out of you. You have your personal dream and we want you to begin to see it in the context of the public reality. And we want you to dwell on your dream if you are really serious about it. The group processes will propel you to explore your private dream and the private reflections will ensure you develop the skills required to turn it into a reality.

You will have a roller-coaster ride through long hours of arduous days during this programme. Visit schools, work with headmasters and teachers, teach children and then come back to reflect on the subtle issues that you encounter. On top of that there is the evening curriculum - readings and case study discussions, which take you closer to taking your first steps towards bringing change.

What you become?

The question ought to be: what do you want to become? If you have made the grade with Gandhi Fellowship Programme, a few things are certain:

That you envision yourself as somebody who seriously wants to bring change.
That you are seeking to bring non-violent constructive change in society.
That you are willing to change your habit patterns and work hard to explore collaborations that bring big change.
