Learn, Collaborate, Transform: SBI Youth for India Fellowship 2026-27 is Calling!

Are you tired of the “9-to-5” grind and looking for a way to make a real-world impact? The State Bank of India (SBI) Foundation has officially opened the gates for the 14th batch of its flagship SBI Youth for India (YFI) Fellowship 2026-27. This is not just an internship; it is a 13-month journey of self-discovery that places India’s brightest urban minds directly into the heart of rural communities.

From the remote villages of Nagaland to the fields of Rajasthan, this fellowship is designed for those who want to “Be the Change” rather than just talk about it.
