Anthology

Edited by Dr. Arpita Kanjilal and Ashwini Shah

Imprints of Change: The Digital Journey to Swaraj is a testament to the transformative impact of the Digital Swaraj Fellowship. The book is an anthology of experiences, learnings and insights shared by Fellows of Cohort 2023-2024, who have been at the forefront of digital inclusion and empowerment across India’s diverse landscapes. The book captures the essence of the Fellowship program into two parts: In Part One: Digital Swaraj in Action, stories of grassroots change unfold through the narratives of Maitri Singh, Mili Dangwal, Pratiksha Kamble, Punti Kumari, Shrishti Sinha, Swati Tiwari, and Vikas Chinchkar. Each chapter highlights unique initiatives that reflect the power of digital tools in promoting a citizen and community-centric development and building an inclusive and resilient digital ecosystem. Part Two: Fellows ki Duniya: Notes from the Field offers deeper insights into the Fellows’ personal journeys. From digital odysseys to bridging urban-rural divides, the one-year fellowship journey showcases the challenges and triumphs of nurturing and creating a generation of digital changemakers, leaders and experts in the digital and development sector.
