Founded in the memory of R. Rajaram in his centenary year, the Rajaram Fellowship is envisioned as a programme of support–financial, mentoring and networking–for original research on sexual or gender-based violence. The Rajaram Media Fellowship is intended to support original research for a media project on a subject relating to sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV). The projects must be completed within a mutually agreed time-frame of no longer than six months. Working journalists in India, from any medium and in any language, may apply.
About the Fellowship
The Rajaram Media Fellowship is intended to support research for a media project–feature or long-form articles, a special issue, a documentary or digital product–on SGBV. It will not cover production costs. The proposed project must be original and have a feasible research design. The applicant must have a concrete plan for publication of the research material.
Media Research fellows may be employees of a particular publication or platform or they may be freelancers. They should have a minimum of three years of reporting experience.
