The India Smart Cities Fellowship is an initiative of the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs (MoHUA) under the Smart Cities Mission to cultivate youth leadership and usher vibrancy in the design of India’s urban future. In 2019, a pioneer batch of thirty-nine young professionals were inducted as Fellows, who applied their skills and experience to 12 projects in Smart Cities across the country by providing creative solutions to pressing challenges being faced by India’s urban sector. NIUA is involved in developing and implementing the selection process, and maintaining managerial control of the fellowship on behalf of MoHUA.
