I'm very excited to be a part of this and I'll be interacting with people who have similar goals and help me learn everyday. Project Oorja, which I had mentioned in my application would help in making the lives of rural people better which constitutes more than 50% of the population if India.

Millennium Fellowship Project: Beyond Plastic
We aim to spread awareness about climate change and the hazardous effects it can
have on human life.
- We plan to clean the beaches and donate the collected plastic for recycling and
promote sustainable practices at the college level- like waste management using 6
different dustbins, forming telegram/Whatsapp groups to keep the readers/students in
the loop reminding them that climate change is not a hoax.
- We'll try to do deep research on fast fashion on our college campus via various
surveys and write a research paper on how this industry is contributing to
environmental pollution.
- plant more trees around the college campus and use RTI to know about govt steps to
control climate change
-encourage people to do a regular PUC check for their vehicles
- conducting webinars on promoting sustainability, circular economy, and veganism.
