" Being a part of Millennium Fellowship will not only enable me to work for the social cause I am advocating but will also hone my various skills, especially my leadership skills. "
Millennium Fellowship Project: Advancement of Rights of Marginalized Communities
Our university is based in a conflict zone that happens to be the world's most heavily
militarized territory. With human rights violations being commonplace in Kashmir's
theatre of war, civil rights are trampled upon frequently. This leaves the most
disenfranchised groups in the valley particularly vulnerable to harm and injustice, at
the hands of both the state and their fellow citizens. My project seeks to remedy that
on a micro level by education and empowerment.
