I am an outstation candidate. Will any accommodation facilities be provided to me under this program?

The responsibility of arranging accommodation in Delhi rests with the LAMP Fellow.

Will I be required to travel for work?

The role requires the LAMP Fellow to be based in Delhi. The work of the LAMP Fellow will focus on assisting the MP in undertaking his/her duties in Parliament. Thus, the role may require minimal or no travel outside of Delhi. In addition, PRS may arrange, as part of its training efforts, field visits to other places, which may be outside Delhi and will be compulsory for all LAMP Fellows. If the LAMP Fellow and the MP mutually agree, the MP may arrange a visit to his/her constituency.

What is the average number of working hours I need to put in?

The role of a LAMP Fellow requires a full-time commitment. The periods when Parliament is in session will be the busiest time of the year for anyone working with Parliamentarians. MPs are usually in Parliament between 10 AM and 6 PM. MPs typically meet with their Fellows and assign work either before they go to Parliament or after they return. During the session, LAMP Fellows may have to brief their MPs on short notice on any matter. Hence, the workload will be high while Parliament is in session and the LAMP Fellow must be open to flexible working hours. The work of each LAMP Fellow will therefore differ greatly, depending on the work and requirements of their respective MPs.
