The beneficiaries of Chief Minister’s Rural Development Fellowship Programme 2016 will have an opportunity to use their knowledge and skills to reform and empower villages towards self-sustainable development, a statement from Chief Minister’s office said.

Any graduate aged between 20-30 years as on January 1, 2017 from a recognised university/institute is eligible for this fellowship programme. The fellowship is for a 12-month period with a monthly stipend of Rs. 30,000.
