AICTE launches fellowship Program to Combat Climate Change
The program also aims to promote the adoption of solar energy as a clean and renewable power source.
All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) introduced two programs aimed at tackling the pressing global issue of climate change in collaboration with The Energy Swaraj Foundation ( ESF ).
Under the umbrella of the 'Youth Actions for Climate Correction' initiatives, the Energy & Climate Fellowship Program and the Energy and Climate Mentorship Program seek to empower the youth in combating climate change and creating a sustainable future.
The Energy & Climate Fellowship Program targets students who have completed their courses or are in their final year of study. Ten outstanding students from AICTE-approved institutes will be selected as Energy Swaraj Fellows and will dedicate one year to this transformative initiative. Throughout their tenure, fellows will receive comprehensive training and provide guidance to institutes across India, assisting them in combating the climate crisis through various actions and awareness plans formulated by the Energy Swaraj Foundation. The program also aims to promote the adoption of solar energy as a clean and renewable power source. Interested students can register for the fellowship through the following link: https://bit.ly/esf-aicte-fellowship.
The Energy & Climate Mentorship Program, on the other hand, is designed to support AICTE-affiliated institutes in their efforts to mitigate the impact of climate change. This program offers mentorship by Energy Swaraj Fellows and is limited to 100 institutes. Through this initiative, an Energy Swaraj Fellow will be assigned to each participating institute for a period of 15-20 days, assisting them in implementing various activities outlined in the action and awareness plans developed by the Energy Swaraj Foundation. Institutes can register for the mentorship program by visiting: https://es-pal.org/mentorship-program.
This joint endeavor by AICTE and the ESF aims to harness the potential of the youth, recognizing them as important stakeholders in shaping the future and facing the increasingly grave consequences of climate change.
