🌿 Apply now to undertake a walk along River Luni in Western Rajasthan, India.
We’re excited to announce a new Moving Upstream Fellowship offering, a joint initiative by Veditum India Foundation and the School of Public Policy, IIT Delhi, with support from A4Store and Out of Eden Walk.
8 fellows will be selected to walk the length of River Luni in Rajasthan, a unique river. The Luni originates in the Aravallis close to Ajmer in Rajasthan and flows through the Thar Desert, before draining into the Rann of Kucch in Gujarat.
This is the 3rd edition of the Moving Upstream Fellowship. In the previous 2 editions, a total of 15 fellows walked the lengths of Betwa and Sindh rivers, walking a cumulative distance of over 1200 kms, creating an incredible repository of data and stories.
