"The whole objective behind the India Fellow is praiseworthy. It offers a wonderful platform for the exchange of ideas, knowledge and skills between both the Fellows as well as the workers. It was nice to see the Fellow, despite his urban upbringing, adjust beautifully with the village environs and teaching computer skills."
- Grameen Vikas Samiti, Nainital, Uttaranchal (2007)

"India Fellow is certainly a unique way of giving a platform to youngsters to explore rural India and contribute accordingly to bring about a valuable change that could go a long way and turn into a movement. As it is said, “for youngsters with fire in their bellies”, this could be their first encounter with reality."
- Watershed Organisation Trust (WOTR), Ahmednagar, Maharashtra (2007)

"The programme is good and needs to be praised indeed. It was quite appreciative to note how these two fellows came, all the way, to spend 6 long weeks, working in the rural parts of the hot desert state of Rajasthan, foregoing all luxuries, and yet mixing amazingly well with the locals here."
- Urmul Jyoti Sansthan, Bikaner, Rajasthan (2007)

"It has been a pleasure to have both the fellows with our organization. Though quite young, they actually managed to steer the project back on track, which had slowed down due to a variety of reasons. Their constant persistence and eagerness to work on the project has been inspiring and infectious."
- Chirag, Nainital, Uttaranchal (2007)

"It is a very good programme and you place city volunteers in field conditions which is indeed valuable as well as appreciable."
- Vivekananda Girijana Kalyana Kendra (VGKK), B R Hills, Karnataka (2007)

"This Programme helps young ones to understand and internalize the real situation of rural India."
- Gandhigram Trust, Dindigul, Tamil Nadu (2007)

"It is an important concept, useful in building the perspective of future generations towards building a nation. The programme is not useful only to volunteers, but also to partner NGOs whose staff benefit from it."
- Grass Roots Action For Social Participation (GRASP), Aurangabad, Maharashtra (2007)

"The Fellows mix very easily with the people; are always ready to go into someone's house. They adjusted without creating an issue of it. The villagers have definitely benefited. In 10 years, the time we haven't been able to give, the Fellows have done by working on it full time for 6 weeks. The feeling of attachment for work was also there. Even the villagers accepted outsiders coming to stay with them."
- Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar Vaidyakiya Pratishthan (DBAVP), Aurangabad, Maharashtra (2006)

"This is a very good programme for young people as it offers them a chance to study the rural society closely. It in turns helps in broadening their understanding about rural realities in a significant way. Both the fellows have done commendably well during their tenure and have garnered significant understanding of the realities confronting the hilly inhabitants of the region."
- Himalayan Gram Vikas Samiti (HGVS), Pithoragarh, Uttaranchal (2005)
