Re: [Talk-in] 'Maps for Making Change' in India
This looks like an extremely interesting opportunity and i would mostly be applying on some topic related to civic governance. I have been quite busy lately thanks to my academics, hopefully i would be getting time to spare for this. Is anyone else planning to apply?
