Leadership by Design: Inside the Gandhi Fellowship Program, a case study by the Centre for Asian Philanthropy India (CAPI), delves into the Gandhi Fellowship’s (GF) approach to youth leadership through real-world grassroots engagement with public systems. Since GF’s inception in 2008, with funding from the Piramal Foundation, the program has engaged over 2,700 youth to tackle pressing social challenges in education, healthcare, livelihood, and more. With insights into its impact, operational model, and strategies for success, this case study offers valuable lessons for stakeholders aiming to build scalable youth leadership programs.
