" The idea of learning to serve and serving to learn highly motivates me. As a Millennium Fellow, I am very excited to use my knowledge and educational values to make a difference through my Project Shikshya, which aims to ensure quality education in the juvenile reform home of Nepal. I am confident that the hands-on experiences, networks, and leadership skills that I gain through the Millennium Fellowship will enable me to enhance my social impact and benefit me personally for the rest of my life. And I also believe that Millennium Fellowship is the best platform that will help me self-reflect and look deeper into myself as a leader, and I really look forward to it. "
Millennium Fellowship Project: Project Shikshya
“Project Shikshya” is an endeavor to ensure quality education in the juvenile reform home of Nepal. Juvenile delinquents are children below the age of 18 who are in conflict with the law. The age group of 11-18 is a pivotal point for the development of one’s personality and access to quality education is vital to ensure this. Quality education plays a constructive role in accessing various opportunities for these juveniles to lead a quality life once they reintegrate into society and Project Shikshya focuses on these areas.
The juvenile reform home in Nepal still follows conventional methods of teaching and lacks necessary resources. Thus, this project focuses on providing intensive classes on psycho-social development, personality development, career counseling, etc. Along with this, the project also intends to create a research report that will include a general observation of the education system of the Juvenile Reform Home, a comparative study of education-related policies inside the reform home around the world, and methods to address difficulties that are hindering quality education. We also aim to incorporate long-term solutions and policy measures to enhance the teaching-learning method in the reform home.
In addition, the report is to be submitted to the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology and other relevant bodies in order to draw the attention of the government to maintain the quality of education inside the only juvenile reform home in Nepal.
