Anant Fellowshipโs Class of 2025 concluded with the Fellows presenting their final Live-Action Projects (LAPs). The projects were showcased in the presence of internal and external jurors, mentors, LAP clients, the Fellowship team, and other university stakeholders. This year, the cohort worked on seven unique projects:
Prakrishi: Focused on the Dangs and Navsari regions of Gujarat, this project explored the behavioral aspects that enable or hinder the adoption of natural farming.
Bridging Experiences: This project worked with parents, teachers, and principals in three municipal schools in Ahmedabad to understand the challenges and explore ways to foster stronger engagement.
Foodprint: The team collaborated with its client, Project Otenga, to integrate sustainability practices into its overall strategy and operations.
Apple Vibes: An entrepreneurial initiative, this project reimagines how underutilized and surplus apples can be transformed into nutritious, naturally sweet, and gluten-free value-added products. By combining locally sourced apples with other healthy ingredients, the team developed clean-label snacks that are both affordable and wholesome.
Adinav: Aimed at primary-level children (Grade 3, ages 8โ10) of the Bhil tribe, this project developed pictorial educational materials in the local Bhili language and artistic style.
Ankahi Goonj: This project studied the housing conditions of migrant workers in the Vatva area of Ahmedabad, examining their vulnerabilities and mitigation strategies, use of space as well as expenditure on repairs and maintenance.
Samman: The team helped its client, India Recycles, to understand the needs of low-income communities and their attitudes towards pre-loved goods.
We wish them all the best!
