I thought to join the program to transform into managerial role with social cause and asked few questions coming into my mind. Here are the questions and answers I got.
Questions:
1. What is the selection criteria for this?
2. How much stipend one can expect from this?
3. Is there any difference in work and stipend based on experience?
Answers:
1. If you reside in India, are a graduate upto 28 years of age and are passionate about working towards India's social development, you are eligible for the programme.
2. All those selected for the programme receive a stipend of Rs. 12000 irrespective of their experience
3. Projects are alloted to the candidates based on their skills and abilities as well as the requirements of the NGO.
Hope this all will help you!
