Dear Team YETI,
My name is Garima Sharma, and I work with the Indian Institute for Human
Settlements <https://iihs.co.in/> (IIHS) in Bengaluru.
I am writing to you to request posting the following email seeking
applications from interested individuals to the IIHS's fellowship programme
called Urban Fellow Programme (UFP) 2024-25. The description in the email
shared below outlines how this can be relevant to the YETI audiences.
In case you have any clarifications, my colleague Jyoti, who works on the
UFP programme, can answer those for you.
Best,
Garima
