Hello,

We have a winner of our inaugural TRC Investigative Reporting Fellowship. TRC Fellow Suchak Patel is based in Gujarat’s Ahmedabad and will be with us for the next three months. He will be working with the TRC team to produce top-grade investigative work in English.

In this inaugural round, we received 70 eligible applications. Some of them stood out much more than others. While we can’t host all of the shortlisted stories, we have decided to accept one more investigative pitch. Our Special Grantee Alok Rajput will be taking on this investigative project.

In the coming days, Suchak will work on a project that falls within our themes of Political Economy, and Governance and Accountability. Alok, on the other hand, will focus on a unique story on the intersection of caste, politics, and one of our fellowship themes, Public Health and Policies. Selecting these pitches out of the 70 eligible applications was rather tough. We assessed each application on different parameters, including originality and exclusivity, our mandate, availability of evidence, and feasibility of the story pitched.

This fellowship is funded by citizens who champion our work. We have imagined this fellowship program to support young independent journalists across the country to tackle ambitious investigative projects. We’re thankful to all our donors and subscribers. These initiatives are possible only with your support. Help us tell the next big story. Donate now.

Regards,

Furquan Ameen
