In memory of the former Prime Minister of India, the Congress Party launches the Dr. Manmohan Singh Fellows Program

In memory of the former Prime Minister of India, the Congress Party launches the Dr. Manmohan Singh Fellows Program.

Dr. Manmohan Singh was one of India’s finest Prime Ministers. Specifically, it was under his leadership, first as the Finance Minister and later as the Prime Minister, that an entire new professional class of Indians came up and flourished.

To celebrate and honour Dr. Manmohan Singh’s legacy and contributions to the nation, Praveen Chakravarty (Chairman of AIPC and Data Analytics), along with Pawan Khera (Chairman, Media & Publicity Dept.) and K. Raju, (AICC in-charge of Jharkhand; Head of OBC, SC ,ST & Minority Dept.) launched the Dr. Manmohan Singh Fellows Program, with consent from Dr. Singh’s family.

This is a program targeted at working class professionals that have a passion for public service and societal change. Lakhs of professionals with a strong sense of purpose and duty wishing to join politics often feel overawed, confused and intimidated. This Program will be the bridge for such professionals to transition to a career in politics in a smooth and structured manner.

50 professionals from across the country will be chosen every year by an eminent panel through a carefully designed process. The chosen Fellows will be mentored by the top leadership of the Congress party, get opportunities to work on important assignments across the various departments, undergo intensive training and be placed on the path to political leadership of the Congress party and the nation.
