Hi,
I would want to know if this movement is only going to take place in Mumbai and Pune. I live in Bangalore and would want to do something here. Are you guys considering having any projects of TFI in Bangalore? Kindly let me know. Also what is the stipend that we should expect, considering this will be our full time job.
Thanxx!!
Yes in coming years we are planning to move to different cities and Bangalore is one of the top priority.
About stipend, i would not like to disclose the amount but it is sufficient to live in a metropolitan city like Bangalore.

Hi,
I live in Hyderabad and would want to do something for the kids here. Do you have any projects of TFI in hyderabad? Please let me know… and also whom to aproach….
Not just now but will be coming there in few years.
Bonjour!
This project looks absolutely terrific! I’m a French student studying at LSE in the UK and I woulf like to know if it is possible for me to apply for 2010-2012. It’s kind of late, I know, but I only heard about it today…
It look at the requirments, it seems ok for me, but I prefer to double-check. Could it work for me, as I’m French? How does TFI deals with visas for foreign fellows?
Plus, my GPA is kind of difficult to calculate, as it’s based on a a weird French grading system. Any advise on that?
Thanks for helping me for the application!
I wish I could join you next year, really.

Yes you can apply for it, it’s not bounded by the nationality of the person.
and the third deadline is 10 January 2010.
sir,
why dont you start a this program from this year in hyderabad….
me and my few friends are ready to participate in this great program…. we will take initiative to start this program at hyderabad under your guidence…. so kindly provide necessary details….
Is this program conducting in Delhi (NCR Region)?
and also i want to know the streams (eg. Drawing, fine arts) in which the we can apply for this post?
No, just now it is functional in two cities only Pune & Mumbai but in coming couple of years we would come in Delhi.
Regarding streams: You don’t have to apply for any stream, basically fellows have to teach in a low income school as a class teacher or subject teacher in Primary Schools.
Hi,
I have applied for the fellowship program this year before the Nov. 29th deadline. I have however not received a reply regarding the status of my application. I have also mailed in to admissions@teachforindia.org but to no avail. Kindly look into the same.
Thank you.
I live in US and I came to know about this project recently. I really applaud all the work you guys are doing. All the very best and I wish you all the success. I hope to take part in this program in the coming years. If you guys have any plans to promote this program in US for donations or to conduct work shops, I would be really willing to participate.
Wishing you all the best,
Ravali.
Our last deadline is 17 Jan. 2010, so before that you can spread the word and inspire others to join the movement.

Hello Sir,
I am currently studying in the 2nd year of my engg. I am teaching one mentally retarded child. Also I feel that I have a talent at teaching and for that reason I am always approached by my engg. colleages to make them understand some concept.
I want to be a part of the Teach For India campaign right after my graduation. My question is that will I be eliminated if I am not that great (like IITians) at my graduation stream ? I am currently working hard at it but always find that I am lacking in some aspect of my knowledge (dont have enough time— thats all).
And lastly do reply me whether there is some time left after your schooling/teaching students ? Approx. how many hours per day you contribute to TFI ?
Sorry for a long post… but I am bloody damn passionate about teaching..
HI Raju,
It doesnt matter whether yo uare at IIT or not what matter is your commitment , passion and you good in academics where evr u r. You shoul also possess leadership skills.
TFI is a full time program but still you can take out some time after school if you are a good planner.
No, it is a 2 year program but still you can join as an intern is their is vacancy. for these option check out our website and mail to our adm. department.

Hi,
I applied for TFI fellowship this year, but got late for the submission of application.
Can I expect a call from TFI? I am really passionate about contributing to the society by teaching those who can’t afford.
