" Well as i stated before about myself i was always a curious child with many questions for which i mostly got an answer like it is what it is. i really want to change that perspective in a good way by making it it is what we will do. By becoming a Millennium Fellow that first important thing for me would be exposure to all sorts of things, thoughts of others, their perspectives, ideas and with that how i creative i can be with my ideas. Working for ourselves is the basic thing we learn as a human but what we shoild learn nowadays is how can our ideas help other people as well. We are all part of the society we make and if we can provide everyone with their basic needs. I hope there will be less scenarios of The movie like parasite and the series like squid game. "
Millennium Fellowship Project: UNGAPPED US
In this project, i am planning to remove the increased gap between rich and poor. i know it's not a task that can be completed in july August to December but we take a projected number to help them to matter whatsoever.
so, i think the root cause of every but the cause i envision here is incfeased inqualities- it is a result of all the problems one can think of this gap continue to widen, what we are proposing will reach out to 50-100 Houses. Considering one house as an individual entity we will try to raise their income level, educational level, reach to good health level.
(Example) (May involve different case scenario) This would be in the following way-Suppose in a family thee are 5 memebers- Mother, Father, One Sister (Age 10), One Brother(Age 10) and Another Brother (above 18).
This family lives in a tent no member has ever attended school and the father does the unskilled work. We will approach this family under. We will approach this family under 'UNGAPPED US'. We will connect the income on how do they earn, help them have the essential social documents without which you can't have any benefit. After having that we will enroll both the sister and the brother age 10 to get enrolled to the nearest governement school and have all the clothes and books, bags as provided by the government. then we will have the father, mother and son (above 18) enroll themselves in 'Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojna' nearest Training centre. we will have them learn the skills through which they can earn money in the formal sector with their skill. Then we will have them enrolled on the 'National Food Security Card' through which they will be given food sustenance. Supposing all the families we approach are BPL then we will approach the Jurisdictional government on available housing issues and if possible a house for them could be made available to government. then we will have them insured health-wise at government expense unde the 'Ayushmaan Jan Arogya Yojana'.
We will take this project on Two fronts either fieldwork or Research on that selected population and submission of that research report to government authorities. We might pursue both in a Non-Covid Situation at that time.
Our primary goal is to reach out to people of a selected area and help them to come into the mainstream. it might involve different strategies but the main goal is capacity building reducing inequalities therough skill development and all other measures.
