LAMP Fellowship: Policy and Parliament Opportunity

The Legislative Assistants to Members of Parliament (LAMP) Fellowship is an initiative by PRS Legislative Research, aimed at enhancing the legislative process in India. The Fellowship provides young Indians with a unique opportunity to work closely with Members of Parliament (MPs) and gain firsthand experience in law-making and public policy. LAMP Fellows support MPs through extensive research, helping them draft parliamentary questions, prepare speeches, and craft private members’ bills. Additionally, they engage in workshops, interact with policymakers, and participate in field visits to understand governance at the grassroots level. This immersive program enables Fellows to contribute to the democratic process while gaining valuable insights into India’s legislative framework.

The LAMP Fellowship is a prestigious year-long program for young professionals interested in legislative research and public policy. Each Fellow is assigned to a Member of Parliament and works full-time, providing research support for parliamentary work. The Fellowship offers opportunities to draft questions, assist in debates, and prepare legislative inputs for MPs. Beyond Parliament sessions, Fellows attend workshops with policymakers and field visits to deepen their understanding of governance. The program begins with a rigorous month-long training, ensuring Fellows are equipped to handle their responsibilities effectively.
