At REACH, we offer an exceptional opportunity for Somaiya's most brilliant and compassionate minds to collaborate with rural communities associated with the Somaiya Ecosystem.
Our dedicated REACH Fellows will work alongside farmers, artisans, and tribals, cultivating deep empathy for their struggles and challenges. Throughout this journey, our goal is to identify gaps, highlight areast needing attention, and brainstorm potential solutions, all while celebrating the unique strengths of these rural communities.
Functioning as architects of a foundational data landscape, REACH Fellows play a pivotal role in comprehending community needs and challenges, leveraging the expertise of the research community.
REACH Fellowships are sponsored fellowship and Somaiya Vidyavihar University sponsors the 2024 fellowship.
