For those who travel, learn. And those who learn, change. The Grassroutes program is well summarized in "Road trips for social change". It is a fellowship program that centers around a 10-day road-trip, that is designed to make the Fellows question themselves and their existing beliefs.

The fellows Travel to a pre-decided location and spend a week there trying to research and understand the on-ground reality – the problem at hand, the non-profits, the change-makers and their actions, the community and the local government. They play the role of social journalists and capture the stories of all the people involved in community development, and on their return, share them with the rest of the country. They get to be activists by lending a helping hand to the change-makers and use their skill-set to help the local community in their own little ways.

Last year, three teams of fellows, The Hungry fools, Fabulinius, and Sada diesel, went to explore three different locations, and their inherent problems. Sada Diesel, cut across Chattisgarh, Fabulinius trekked in Andhra Pradesh, whereas the hungry fools spent ten days in the backyards of Tamil Nadu.
