India Fellow is a 6-week long rural fellowship program that exposes youth to the myriad development challenges that India faces today. It is a "total immersion program" which means that fellows stay with the rural NGO for the entire duration.

Young under graduate and postgraduate students are selected, oriented and then placed with rural NGOs across India. Post fellowship, iVolunteer engages fellows in a meaningful way to help them share their learning and contribute in a positive manner.
