We have got dozens of queries about the age limit, which currently is 25. Firstly thanks a lot for taking time to write to us, tells us you care about the program and to us that means a world. We wanted to put forward why we had to make that choice.

There are some factors that depend on age and by picking young people under 25 we are trying to pick a homogeneous group. Some of the factors that we believe are dependent on age are:

• Our selection of organizations and projects
• Fellow’s expectations from the program
• Fellow’s experience and expertise

We categorically want to convey that we believe young people above 25 are also open to new experiences and change. Also they can contribute significantly to solve some of the pressing social problems. Keeping this in mind we are launching a different program for people above 25 or working professionals. We should be able to launch the application and handbook for the same in March.If you are above 25 or can’t commit for a month we request you to wait for another month.

Thanks for understanding and together, we are looking forward to some exciting times this summer.
