About the Fellowship

Dainik Bhaskar (DB) brings you the third year of Ramesh Chandra Agarwal Journalism Fellowship Program in 2024 after successfully training multiple fellows in 2023. Watch the video below to get a glimpse of what our Batch of 2023 has to say!

You will get 12 months of experience learning on the job at DB. You will be placed in multiple newsrooms and will work alongside DB journalists to learn how to create and deliver high-quality, trusted content for our print and digital platforms. You will develop skills in data-driven journalism and multimedia storytelling to create content that’s insightful as well as engaging.

We want to help you and millions of other Indians grow by improving their understanding and knowledge of the world in the easiest, fastest way possible – by telling you what’s happening and helping you analyze what it means for you.

You could be doing in-depth research on a particular story, compiling information for your team, brainstorming for special stories, doing an on-ground report, assisting in an interview, anchoring a video story, or even writing a script… the list is endless. Towards the end of the fellowship, you will get the opportunity to train in the department of your choice to further your skills.

By the end of the fellowship, you should have the skills and training to progress in your journalism career. Based on your performance and track record, you could also be eligible to earn a full-time position at DB.
