India’s rise as a confident and capable democracy rests on the pillars of visionary leadership, strong institutions, and effective governance. Few leaders embodied this vision as clearly as Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee, whose legacy of good governance, technological progress, and inclusive development continues to shape Bharat’s future. At Kshetra, we honour this legacy by building a new generation of leaders committed to public service innovation, policy excellence, and systemic reform.

The Atal Good Governance Fellowship is designed for professionals who are driven to transform how governance is imagined and delivered in India. The fellowship focuses on high-impact verticals such as public policy, political governance reforms, foreign relations, security studies, e-governance and digital public infrastructure, and innovation in public service delivery. It places fellows at the intersection of policy design, field implementation, and institutional transformation—especially at the district and state level.

Grounded in the ideals of Viksit Bharat, cooperative federalism, and inclusive development, this fellowship offers a front-row seat to the functioning of governance ecosystems. Fellows will work closely with bureaucrats, technocrats, elected representatives, and think tanks to craft and implement solutions that enhance transparency, efficiency, and citizen-centricity in government systems.

The program provides exposure to real-world policy execution, use of technology in governance, and research-backed innovations in administrative reform. Whether it's improving digital public infrastructure, optimizing service delivery through data, or contributing to foreign policy analysis and national security frameworks—fellows will be at the heart of change-making processes.

Through the Atal Good Governance Fellowship, Kshetra seeks to build a cadre of sharp, ethical, and committed professionals who are equipped to rethink governance in the spirit of Atal Ji’s visionary leadership. This is a space for those who believe governance is not just about systems, but about people—about enabling every citizen to access the full promise of democracy.

If you're passionate about building effective, inclusive, and future-ready institutions, this fellowship is your chance to contribute directly to the making of a Viksit Bharat.
