The fellowship began with an intensive one-week induction programme that introduced fellows to foundational education philosophies, sociological perspectives, and human development concepts. The week also focused on team-building, organisational culture, self-reflection, and life-mapping exercises to help fellows understand their own journeys and aspirations.

Fellows undertook comprehensive needs assessments in partner schools, mobilised community funds, and designed context-specific interventions. As part of this process, they conducted weekly library sessions and established basic library spaces in two schools, strengthening access to books and fostering a culture of reading.

Through structured weekly learning circles, fellows engaged deeply with both practical and critical themes, including budgeting, MS Office, internet research skills, foundations of education, gender and class, school ecosystems, social justice, environmental stewardship, the Constitution of India, and communicative English. These sessions aimed to build both professional competence and socio-political awareness.

To build independence and confidence, fellows undertook a solo trip outside Assam, managing their own budgeting, planning, and scheduling. Alongside this, they conducted baseline assessments in English, Mathematics, and Assamese. Based on the results, each fellow identified a subject requiring focused attention in their school and led accelerated interventions to strengthen foundational learning outcomes.
