Scholarship Program in India for Internship

The Centre for Social Impact is offering a scholarship to attend the PRIA International Internship Program, one of only 25 places worldwide.

This inspirational program will provide the CSI Scholarship recipient with the opportunity to learn about development issues on the ground as part of an eight week course based in Delhi and at two different regional sites in India from September to November 2010.

2009 CSI PRIA Scholarship recipient, Keya Saha-Chaudhury, said the opportunity to gain exposure to Indian NGOs working with local communities was invaluable.

"The internship taught me a lot about rural life and local self governance structures in India but it was the stories from the communities that taught me the most. Both the organisations I worked with were focused on empowering communities to take responsibility for their own development, by building their capacity to participate in public processes and assert their rights," said Ms Saha-Chaudhury.

"There is no doubt that many challenges still face India but what inspired me was seeing that change was happening, and that Indians were leading this change... The model of seeing communities as change agents rather than mere beneficiaries of outside help is something I think we in the ‘west' can learn from," she said.

The CSI scholarship is open to people with a position in a not-for-profit or volunteer organisation, those connected with citizen engagement in the community, or to university students passionate about community engagement.

The CSI scholarship will provide:

• Return economy class airfare between your home city in Australia and New Delhi • The PRIA fee of US $2,800 to attend the program and stay on the PRIA campus • $500 towards out-of-pocket expenses.

PRIA will provide:

• Cost of stay (twin share basis) for the entire period of internship • Travel to and within field sites • Food for stay in Delhi (note interns bear the cost of food during the 6 week fieldwork period, at around US$6 per day) The closing date for CSI Scholarship applications for the PRIA International Internship Program is 30 June 2010.

‘India Fast Growth 25’

Indian School of Business hosts ‘India Fast Growth 25’

The Indian School of Business (ISB) recently hosted 'India Fast Growth 25' in partnership with the AllWorld Network and The Indus Entrepreneurs (TiE), Hyderabad. 'India Fast Growth 25', is an annual rating of emerging private companies in India and offers a snapshot of how India is creating new economic values and the constraints faced by entrepreneurs. Through this, the AllWorld aims to recognise and advance all the growth entrepreneurs of the emerging world by 2015, creating a global entrepreneurship industry and next 1 million jobs.
The 25 winning companies were felicitated at the ISB and were also part of a panel discussion on entrepreneurship. The discussion began with a welcome address by Dr Krishna Tanuku, Executive Director, Wadhwani Centre for Entrepreneurship Development, ISB.

A panel discussion followed with Tanuku; Ramu Kallepalli, CEO, TravelSpice.com; Phanindra Sama, CEO, redBus.in; Sameer Mehra, CEO, Suminter India Organics and Vipin Aggarwal, Vice President, Nexus Capital as the panellists. The discussion was moderated by Sudhir Syal, Editorial Head, Starting Up, ET Now. The panel discussed start up ventures, importance of retaining talent, funding for fast growth, raising capital and market expansion.

This was followed by a keynote address by Srini Raju, Founder and Chairman, Peepul Capital. Discussing the importance of raising capital, Raju said that it is very important for entrepreneurs to project a realistic picture of the company as they approached and signed deals with investors, particularly private equity players.

Professor Anne Habiby, Co-founder and Director, AllWorld, introduced the organisation and spoke about how India Fast Growth 25 was started. She said that the 25 companies created about 7,000 jobs since their establishment and these firms are expected to grow by 50 percent or more in the next six months.

Discussing entrepreneurship at the ISB, Tanuku said, "At the ISB we encourage students to seek entrepreneurship as their career choice. The ISB is trying to facilitate a more indepth understanding of the students to understand the power of entrepreneurship, what it takes to be a successful entrepreneur and eventually becoming a successful enterprise."
