The fellowship is a unique opportunity for young, dynamic individuals to combine classroom sessions at IIM with engagement in the district economies to promote skill development and skill planning. The fellowship which was launched last year received a good response and has garnered appreciation from various stakeholders.
Past fellows have had a substantial impact on their respective District Skill Committees. Some have also created interesting projects that use skills as a pre-cursor for employment by integrating ideas from business management, public policy, and development economies learned at IIM Bangalore and understanding their district’s potential. Some of the initiatives are with SHGs; others are market-based interventions to strengthen local economies.
