Applications are invited for the Build for Bharat Fellowship 2025 for students graduating in 2025 and 2026. The application deadline is March 7, 2025!
Bharat Digital collaborate with governments, nonprofits, and community organizations to transform and humanize the design, development, and application of technology, all with a focus on driving social good.
Every public service that people rely on—whether it’s dialing ‘112’ in an emergency, receiving a speeding ticket, or when the government plans rural road upgrades, supports women’s groups, provides health insurance to seniors, or offers scholarships—depends on digital systems operating behind the scenes. These technological processes often go unnoticed unless they fail.
The effectiveness of a government’s ability to serve its citizens is deeply linked to its capacity to harness technology that serves everyone, all the time. These essential systems require skilled technologists who grasp the nuances of public service, policy, and the complexities of implementing tech solutions within intricate social structures.
Fellows will have access to online office hours with leading experts in databases, security, distributed systems, open-source technology, and design—drawn from top tech companies, academia, and the public sector.
Fellows will undergo a curate and rigorous orientation program, so they understand the realities of public service, policy, and the unique challenges of implementing tech solutions within complex social frameworks.
Real-World Problem-Solving: For 2.5 months this summer, Fellows will be placed in government departments in partnership with our program. Here, they’ll work on high-impact tech projects that either improve the lives of millions or enhance the effectiveness of government operations.
Public Technologist Orientation: Before and throughout your placement, you’ll undergo a rigorous orientation program—diving deep into how public systems operate, why large-scale tech solutions can fail, and how to build resilient, responsible systems that account for India’s societal and policy complexities.
Expert Mentorship: You’ll have access to one-on-one office hours with leading experts in databases, security, distributed systems, open-source technology, and design—drawn from top tech companies, academia, and the public sector.
INR 40,000 per month.
