Gandhi Research Foundation Fellowship

Gandhi Research Foundation Fellowships are open for international students to pursue their postgraduate or doctoral research in any discipline for session 2020/2021. The scholarship covers a stipend of Rs.15, 000 to Rs. 30, 000 per month, depending on the candidate’s qualification and much more.

The Gandhi Research Foundation (GRF) is an academic and rural welfare-promotion institution, aiming at sustainable living through applied research. Intent on becoming a dynamic center of Gandhian research and allied activities, a Residential Research Fellowship Program is being initiated to coincide with the 150th birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi and will be expanded during the next 3-5 years.

The GRF, with its comprehensive library and archival collections, complemented by excellent board and lodging facilities, provides an environment congenial for conducting intensive applied research by an annually selected team of 5 national and international scholars, activists, social workers, and public figures, during a residential fellowship extending from three to six months (with the possibility of further extension and continuation in subsequent years).

The Research Fellow should ideally choose to work on one, or at the most two, of the proposed Thrust Areas, or on an allied research field of contemporary relevance, adopting an interdisciplinary empirical, applied, and constructive approach. This should be articulated in a research proposal, highlighting the project’s significance for advancing Gandhian studies along with its innovative potential, as well as underscoring the researcher’s expertise in the field and his/her goal orientation.
