What is the news?
Atal Innovation Mission (AIM) in collaboration with UNDP has launched the Community Innovator Fellowship (CIF) marking the “International Day of Women & Girls in Science”
What is the purpose of Community Innovator Fellowship (CIF)?
The fellowship is developed as a pre-incubation model that aims to provide youth with an opportunity to establish their social enterprise focusing on Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) based solutions for solving community issues.
What are the key features of the Community Innovator Fellowship (CIF)?
The fellowship will be one year long. It would mainly focus on facilitating knowledge and capacity building among aspiring community innovators.
During the course of this fellowship, each fellow would be hosted at one of the AIM’s Atal Community Innovation Centres (ACICs) and acquire SDG awareness, entrepreneurial skills and life skills while they are working on their idea.
The ACICs would also nurture youth-led innovations by providing suitable resources in terms of operating facilities, co-working space, maker labs and a dynamic business network to the innovator.
