Dear Jyothi Sharma,
Yes, you can apply for ICSSR fellowship. But make sure that your research topic comes under the purview of thrust areas identified by ICSSR. Also write a good research proposal which includes hypothesis, research methodology, review of literature, sources of information etc.
All the best!
