AN OPPORTUNITY FOR YOUNG
LEADERS TO LEAD THE WAY WITH
TECH AND DATA

India is a nation of incredible diversity and the largest democracy. With such contrasting demography, more than 19,500 mother tongues spoken, more than 25,000 castes & sub-castes, more than 6.64 Lakh Villages and a massive population of 1.4 billion, our nation requires much more than just campaigns, messaging, rallies, and events. As technology continues to evolve, it has the potential to transform the way we engage with India's democratic exercises; making technology work for democracy is a defining challenge of our times. The LokTech Fellowship program is established against this backdrop with an aim to collaborate with tech enthusiasts who would be working together with us on innovative solutions for advancing democracy. The Fellowship is an immersive 11 months leadership development program which would give an opportunity to the young professionals to work on big data projects and experience professional growth through Lok Sabha 2024 project.
