25x25 | Marking 25 Years of Grantmaking at IFA

In 2020, IFA launched the 25x25 initiative to mark our 25th anniversary of grantmaking and the 25-year long history of the Internet in India. Bringing both these ideas together, we sent out a call for proposals under the theme 25 Years of Internet in India which saw an overwhelming response from the field. Out of the 129 proposals received, we made 25 grants of Rs 25,000 each. The selected projects cover a wide range of subjects around our relationships with the Internet and its complexities. These include romance, surveillance, connectivity, privacy, online education, sexuality, safe spaces as well as fear, intimidation, and control.
