Millennium Fellowship Project: Sarvodya
Millennium Fellows, Christ University NCR, initiated protected ‘Sarvodya’ which translates to universal upliftment. Fellows launched independent schemes and also partnered with the CSA (Centre for Social Action) through introducing a social initiative in the form of a social responsibility week in and around the Campus. This joint initiative was named "Navaarambh week", which is a Hindi word for a new beginning. This initiative aimed to encourage the values of social responsibility among all individuals, mainly the youth. The goal of this project was to urge the conscience of individuals and make them more socially aware and responsible. All 17 SDGs were incorporated.
