Empower yourself to create change through immersive, action-driven journeys with Neersa Foundation.
The Neersa Fellowship is not about dictating a path—it’s about inspiring young changemakers to uncover their own. Rooted in empathy, dignity, and hands-on action, this year-long program immerses fellows in India’s rural and urban landscapes, encouraging them to collaborate with communities and build leadership from the ground up.
As our founder states, “Challenges are vast, and we need a surge of solutions and people to bring them to life.”
India’s youth are a dynamic force, and the Neersa Fellowship channels this energy into empathy and action. This program doesn’t provide ready-made solutions but immerses fellows in real challenges, teaching them to listen, co-create, and gain wisdom beyond textbooks through every experience.
Since its inception, the Neersa Fellowship has embodied action, people-first values, and ground realities. Through various tracks—Urban, Grassroots, Next Generation, and Collaborative Fellowships—participants challenge their perspectives, deepen their connection with overlooked communities, and grow as leaders by standing with, not apart from, others.
Our fellows include educators, artists, engineers, students, and dreamers united by a belief that change starts with them. They travel with our teams, live in new environments, and engage with communities as equal partners, returning with courage, questions, and a clearer vision of their role in shaping a connected world.
