Mrinalini Mukherjee Foundation (MMF) in collaboration with People’s Archive of Rural India (PARI) invites applications for the MMF-PARI Fellowship 2022-2023.

The fellowship will support three multimedia projects focussed on arts and crafts of rural India. The projects will be published by PARI (www.ruralindiaonline.org) over a period of a year.

The proposed projects should focus on one or more of the following themes:

Each fellow will be required to submit 8 to 10 multimedia stories as part of their fellowship.

The applicant could consult PARI’s reportage in its website’s ‘Things We Make’ section, featuring stories on artisans and craftspeople, to develop their proposal(s).

Each fellow will receive a grant of Rs. 200,000 (two lakhs), payable in eight instalments of Rs. 25,000 (twenty-five thousand) over a year, from the start of the project.

The fellowship is open to all Indian citizens 18 years and above.
