Introducing the Samvardhan Biodiversity and Conservation Fellowship — a 12-month Fellowship co-curated by Rohini Nilekani Philanthropies and Dasra, and seed funded by @RNP_Foundation, built to support the next generation of conservation leaders across India, especially those from grassroots communities and underrepresented regions.
Too many passionate conservationists leave the field not because they lose interest, but because the system doesn't support them. The Samvardhan Fellowship is here to change that.
What the fellowship offers:
- A seed grant of ₹3 lakh for practice-led conservation work
- Mentorship from conservation experts throughout the year
- Peer learning through cohort sessions, knowledge workshops, and community building
Who can apply:
- Early-career conservation researchers and practitioners under 35, engaged in public-interest conservation — whether in research, fieldwork, or community work.
- Applicants from diverse educational backgrounds and non-elite institutions are strongly encouraged. _(Note: PhD students are not eligible.)_
Applications are open now! Visit samvardhan.dasra.org to apply.
