The highlight of working with an MP so far has been the realization that our Members of Parliament work much harder than we give them credit for. This is something that I can vouch for, given the number of Bill Summaries and issue briefs I’ve had to prepare for my MP, many of them at extremely short notice.
Selected candidates for LAMP Fellowship 2012-13 have been contacted. Congratulations to successful applicants! Thank you for the overwhelming response and your continued interest in the LAMP Fellowship.
The LAMP Fellowship is a unique initiative for bright young people to have a high-impact engagement with the policy-making process at the national level. LAMP Fellows are selected to provide quality research support to Members of Parliament (MPs) to help them perform their legislative and oversight functions effectively.
The LAMP Fellowship places one legislative assistant to work with one MP for a period of 11 months. The year-long programme exposes Fellows to the working of Parliament and the legislative process. The Fellowship encourages the best and the brightest young individuals to get involved in public service.
The Legislative Assistants to Members of Parliament (LAMP) Fellowship 2011-12 comprises 46 young people from across 21 states in India. They come from diverse academic backgrounds including liberal arts, law, commerce, engineering and the sciences.
