The Legislative Assistants to
Members of Parliament (LAMP) Fellowship provides an opportunity for young
Indians to be mentored by a Member of Parliament for a period of 11 months. The
LAMP Fellows work full time with the assigned MP, from the beginning of the
Monsoon session to the end of the Budget session of Parliament. Throughout the
eleven months, the LAMP Fellow works closely with the MP, providing extensive
research support for his/her parliamentary work.
The primary role of a LAMP Fellow is
to provide research inputs to help the MPs fulfill their parliamentary duties such
as asking questions, raising matters of public importance, participating in
debates, writing speeches, drafting private member Bills, among others. The
Fellows will be based in Delhi during the Fellowship Period. LAMP Fellows will
also engage with policy makers and experts from diverse sectors through
participation in workshops on important policy and development issues. During
the intersession period, workshops are conducted on subjects like Health,
Education, Infrastructure, Public Finance, etc

backgrounds are welcome to apply. Candidates must have at least a Bachelor’s
