52 Parindey Fellowship Presentation 2022-23 | Smriti | Ankita | Cohort 2
Channel: Travellers' University
Date: 07/01/2023

52 Parindey Fellowship is a programme for youth in the pursuit of Alivelihoods, meaningful and regenerative livelihoods oriented towards social, ecological and personal wellbeing. 

As a 52 Parindey Fellow, Smriti travelled to urban and rural spaces in different states of India to understand the issues and work around women empowerment as well as what feminism is for her and how she can contribute towards the cause. Reflecting upon her experiences on the journey, she plans to explore practical ways to address the need for a mindset shift to painting a feminist future while also continuing the journey of self-exploration and expression that the fellowship has set her on.

Ankita took up the 52 Parindey Fellowship in an attempt to live slowly and write slower. During these five months, she visited various community spaces across India that are driven by a common interest or cause to understand the essence of community and participatory planning. Her exploration also took her to learn about the relevance of sustainable agricultural practices in the current industrialised model. She believes that growing one's own food is the most urgent act of political rebellion needed today.
