The National Commission for Women (NCW) has introduced the ‘SHAKTI Scholars: NCW’s Young Research Fellowship’, inviting applications from young students and researchers for policy-oriented research on women’s issues in India. The fellowship aims to encourage research on various topics such as women’s safety, gender-based violence, legal rights, cyber safety, and more. It is open to Indian citizens aged 21 to 30 with at least a graduation degree. Candidates pursuing or having completed post-graduation will be given preference. Selected scholars will receive a research grant of Rs 1 lakh for a six-month study. The funds will be disbursed based on the progress of the research. Applications can be sent via email to NCW until December 31. An Expert Committee will review the applications, and shortlisted candidates will undergo an online selection process. Last month, NCW launched a 24×7 helpline, 14490, to provide quick assistance to women in need.
