" I am highly passionate towards using technology for social welfare. I am excited to be a Millennium Fellow primarily because of the tonnes of opportunities to meet young minds who solved real life problems, to listen to them, to learn from them and thus propagate them to my circles. I love working with bright minds who dedicates themselves for a cause, who solves problems that impact lives. I wish to implement these learning in my life, to inspire more projects in my peers. "

Millennium Fellowship Project: TFS: The First Step

Skill development is the main requirement for India now as, in 2017-18 alone, around 33% of the formally trained youth -- both men and women -- remained jobless due to lack of the right skills. For the 688 million Indians falling under the working-age category, skill development is more like a significant necessity. There's a mismatch of education and skills that young people acquire and what various industries actually seek from the incoming workforce to possess.

Adding to the problem, the current pandemic has made it very difficult and necessary to provide the youth and children the required skills. The Fellows realized that most of the underprivileged youth don't have an online gadget from where they can learn those skills online. Through this initiative, they aim to empower the youth and the children by providing them with the required skills and also making those skills accessible online through phone/gagdet donations. Their current aim is to directly impact a group of 200-300 children and equip them with the required skills with the help of NGOs along with getting phone donations and channelizing the phone donations to those who are in need.
