The Joseph P Overton Fellows

Centre for Civil Society’s School Choice Campaign launched the Joseph P Overton Fellowship for Education Policy this year. We received 53 applications from candidates across India. In our first round, we have shortlisted eight candidates for the fellowship from eight states across India.

Working independently at the state-level as part of the year-long fellowship, Overton Fellows will focus their research and analyses on the implementation of the Right to Education (RTE) Act. Track the upcoming work of the fellows on this website and watch this space for more winners!
