In a move toward realizing Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision of deepening ties with the African Union, the Airtel Africa Foundation launched the ‘Airtel Africa Fellowship Program’ at the Indian Institute of Technology Madras Zanzibar (IITM Zanzibar).
Airtel Africa Foundation Launches Fellowships at IIT Madras Zanzibar

This initiative aligns with PM Modi’s goal of integrating Africa into the global economy, recently underscored by African Union’s inclusion as the 21st member of the G20.

This scholarship program by the Airtel Africa Foundation aims to empower talented students across Africa, marking a new chapter in educational collaboration between India and Africa.

On September 9, 2023, the African Union (AU) officially joined the G20 at the invitation of Prime Minister Modi during the New Delhi summit. Modi’s focus on Africa throughout India’s G20 Presidency culminated in the historic decision to include the AU, reaffirming his vision of global cooperation and African integration.

The Airtel Africa Fellowship Program echoes that same spirit by fostering innovation and skill development among the youths of the continent.

Launched with an initial funding of USD 500,000, the Fellowship will benefit 10 undergraduate students enrolled in the Bachelor of Science in Data Science and

Artificial Intelligence at IITM Zanzibar--the first overseas campus of an IIT.
