2010, launched with a pilot initiative consisting of 12 LAMP Fellows. In
the following two years, the Fellowship was expanded to have over 40
Fellows each year. LAMP Fellows work with MPs from both Houses of
Parliament, across different political parties.

will provide inputs to help MPs fulfill their parliamentary duties such as
framing Questions, raising matters of public importance, participating in
debates, drafting private members' Bills, among others. Fellows will also
engage with policy makers and experts from diverse sectors through
