" I want to be a Millennium Fellow because any kind of service that I have to offer to a community will be judged based on my intentions, and what I get out of it. This is especially true when conducting surveys to understand a community's problems better. The respondents may not be comfortable sharing information with a stranger who is not directly impacted by an issue. For this purpose and also to approach officials who may be instrumental in implementing a solution, I want to be a Millennium Fellow as it adds a sense of credibility to the work I intend to do. "

Millennium Fellowship Project: The 3R Project

The 3R Project aims to promote and implement the 3 Rs of sustainable development, namely, Reduce, Reuse and Recycle. It provides a practical and hands-on approach to reduce, reuse and recycle day to day products. The 3R project falls under the Sustainable Development Goal number 12 - Responsible Production and Consumption. It follows through in two main phases - the first one being Awareness and the other being The Collection Drive.
