ACIC-BMU Foundation

Community Innovator Fellowship Program

If someone aims to address community challenges, ACIC-BMU Foundation provides support through funding and mentorship. The program runs for one year, during which selected candidates receive ₹2,00,000 to help launch their venture.

About the Program

The program is divided into five phases. After completing each phase, the candidate must present the work accomplished during that period to the ACIC-BMU team and committee members. Based on this review, the members decide whether the participant is eligible to receive the next round of funding.

We have onboarded a CIF candidate, Mr. Arpit Maurya, who is addressing transportation challenges in rural areas. Recognizing that many villages are located far from main roads, Arpit has initiated a rickshaw service to bridge the gap and improve connectivity between the village and the nearest main road.
