Naropa Fellowship 2022 [Support Amount Rs. 10 L]: Applications Open

 Applications are invited from eligible candidates for the one-year Naropa Fellowship 2022.

About Naropa Fellowship

The Naropa Fellowship is a one-year, fully-residential, post-graduate, academic programme focused on creating and nurturing agents of change who will work towards fostering an ecosystem of entrepreneurship and growth while preserving the cultural heritage of Ladakh and the Himalayan region.

The driving purpose behind the Naropa Fellowship is the urgent need to not only retain local talent, but also develop entrepreneurial skills that can help foster a robust socio- economic environment in Ladakh and the Himalayan region.

Additionally, there is also a need to educate the younger generation regarding the importance of maintaining their distinctive culture and heritage. The Fellowshiphere is thus designed to address the rising challenges of unemployment, lack of training and professional skills, and the gradual cultural erosion in Ladakhi and other Himalayan societies.

The residential campus for the Naropa Fellowship Programme is located at Hemis, Ladakh. It is a well-equipped, secure living space that is provided to the Fellows on a triple-sharing basis, equipped with solar-powered centralised heating and geysers, with meals provided three times a day.

Eligibility

The Fellowship is open to students and working professionals from all fields, with a preference for those from Ladakh and the Himalayan regions across India, Nepal and Bhutan.

• A recognised undergraduate or post-graduate degree in any discipline

• A demonstrable sense of purpose and commitment towards working for the development of Ladakh and the Himalayan region
