" The project I am working on has so many early responsibilities and it needs a platform which can provide a progressive path for the project. I believe that Millennium Fellowship is the perfect platform which can help to impact lives and implement the idea of social justice on ground. "
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.
