Tata Fellowships in Folklore

National Folklore Support Centre’s Tata Fellowships in Folklore are meant for M.Phil level students of participating Universities/colleges. This program facilitates an M.Phil level scholar belonging to one community to work collaboratively with another community’s elder or an artist to document the community elder/ artist’s tradition for a year long period. Each fellowship will carry an award of Rs.9000/- per month for the scholar and another Rs.9000/- per month for the community elder or artist. In addition to the monthly award each fellowship carries a contingency of Rs.50,000/‐ per annum to cover travel and documentation expenses. National Folklore Support Centre will coordinate with the departments of the participating Universities/colleges to select and eventually archive the audiovisual documentation resulting out of this program.
